Has anyone been able to get USB tethering from the Pro to a Mac working?

Yes - Mobile Stream's "USB Modem" app works perfectly. It's $20 but well worth the simplicity...

Awesome, thank you, I used to run that program on my Mogul, and wasn't sure if it worked on the TP or not, I'll give it a shot.

I noticed that this app uses a lot of power, even before it dials up. you'd think that is justs acts as a USB bridge between the radio and the modem, but it seems to be using more poser then Internet Sharing.

I think that maybe if it didn't have the screen while I am online, then it might now drain the batt... When I hit the power button, the screen goes off, then my connection dies.

If anyone has some tweeks, or settings I can do the make it not drian my batt when connected through the USB, I am all open
