to be honest i posted that cab for my own use. At sprintusers it wouldn't allow me to upload the cab so i posted it there then linked that particular post to the sprintusers thread i was writing in. sorry

Thanks everyone for all of your help and suggestions.

So far all I have used was the wmwifirouter. It works great.
The only downfall I am having is my battery drains at an alarming rate. The bad part about it is when I put it on the charger it charges for a min, but because i think im still using the router, it starts to drain again (even while being on the charger. Its not charging though)

Any suggestions?

Also, I havent bought the USB modem yet but is planning on it. Will this work better than the Wifi router as far as the battery is concern?

Thanks again everyone for all your help.

A couple things, using the batter tweaks here: programs, tweaks will help. Also turn the screen off (I also keep mine slid open to reduce heat). With these two things with my phone on the charger it doesn't loose any batter and charges very slightly.

You know whats strange with this bluetooth tethering issue on a mac.... I have tried many custom ROMs from this site and some ROMs connect using bluetooth tethering with no or very little disconnects, and other ROMs hardly connect at all. I don't know what differs between ROMs and it seems to be something related to the ROM build itself I'm guessing. My latest attempt was using a custom 6.5 ROM and it was pretty good, however it did disconnect randomly. My old Mogul was very stable and solid using a custom ROM and bluetooth.

I wish this issue was fixed, as I hear a new Iphone is coming out with tethering capabilities.... Its getting harder and harder not to jump on that bandwagon.
