Free Tethering? I think so.

There is no need to set it for PAM, just leave set to PCS.

It's so easy I don't understand why anyone has a problem, just make sure activesync is installed as it also installs the modem drivers.

1. Change registry entry for rilphone.dll
2. Plug usb in computer only
3. Open Internet sharing, leave settings usb and PCS then hit connect
4. Plug usb into 6800, wait a few seconds for it to set up connection on computer, you can now close IE now as well.

That's it, remember when your done hit disconnect on your 6800 FIRST no matter what.

1. Change registry entry for multi-nai

This is the procedure that works for me, with the exception that I have to hit connect when there is a active data transfer. If I do it while connected and not transferring data it disconnects and tries to reconnect then kicks the 67 error. This happens even after the wmodem regs are 0zd out

Well I just got around to trying this

1) Performed reg edit multi-nai from 1 to 0
2) follwed the posted steps by Primenall
-If I leave network connection as Sprint PCS everything connects fine
-If I switch it to Phone as Modem I immediately get error code 67
-when attempting to connect via bluetooth I get a message on my notebook that my device has rejected the request

I'm confused

According to Primenall above your not supposed to switch it to "Phone as a Modem".

Yes I know, however, others had claimed better results on speed tests using phone as modem so I gave it a try, just like how some reported bluetooth dun was always working

Well I've used both PAM and PCS and haven't noticed a speed difference at all, I haven't did it for awhile because I think Sprint would see this right away, and maybe take action. I'm actually tethering with PAM right now just to check it out again.

Here's how I make it work......

Go to start/settings
click on connections tab
click on the connections Icon
click on manage existing connections
select Phone as modem option

Now just follow the instructions in the other post exactly except...instead of the Usb PCS option select Usb PAM.

When you first connect with IE it should say Phone as Modem in the pop up balloon.

Use at own risk of charges... Posted Via PAM LOL

As far as I can tell by examining the entries in the phone, "Phone as Modem" and "Sprint PCS" are identical. They both execute exactly the same set of parameters for their respective data calls. As far as I can tell, to the Sprint Network they are indistinguishable. Keep in mind that the name of the communications entry is never actually transmitted to the network.

I edited the WModem registry keys and I can connect fine using SprintPCS. However I get disconnected constantly. I don't tether much, but it's really annoying when it happens.
