so I called sprint tech support to get my msl number and they told me I needed a 1 year contract at $50/month to use PAM - that's just stoopid.
After reading a few forums, I set out to hack away, did the reg changes and the IP multicast setting after getting my msl number from sprint, not sure if it matters.
edit: (from xda discussion on tethering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318292): please verify these findings for yourself. Disabling multi-NAI will prevent the carrier from detecting your usage type and should prevent any charges to your account due to tethering.
eventually i just opened ICS, set it to my regular connection, which is not PAM, hit connect, status said waiting for USB, plugged in the USB cable and XP identified the connection, installed the driver and I was on my way.
varying results on an ev connection with 0-1 bars (will do more testing):
500/112 ... good enough for me for free
