Looking to tether my Touch via USB on my Macbook. Anyone have a modem driver I can use?

This is very easy to do via bluetooth. Here is a youtube video that will walk you through it.

I know you can do it with bluetooth but i'd rather have USB. I think the speeds are better.

Until the Touch gets the Rev A update, BT2.0 will be able to keep up with your phone's data connection. BT2 seems to top out at a little over 1mbps from my experience. Testing by tethering over WiFi in the same location shows my true max speed to be about 1.8 mbps. So as long as you're still forced to use EVDO Rev0, BT will be adequate to max out your data speeds.

Now if you want to tether over USB to keep your phone charged, you could try a program called USBModem. I've used it in the past to tether over USB to Macs.
