USB Tethering Solution for the Treo 700p
A PowerPage reader just IM'd me with a nice USB tethering solution for the Treo 700p. It's kind of pricey at US$25, but there's a 14-day trial and it's worked quite well for him during the trial. He tracked the software down because he's been unsuccessful getting Bluetooth to tether.
The software comes with EV-DO scripts for both Verizon and Sprint and according to the reader it "seems to get pretty warm during heavy data transfers. Not MacBook warm though." Transfer rates are all over the place, but he's been able to get better than 1Mb in Chicago.

If this works well on my Verizon Treo 700P, it is a lot less costly than paying Verizon $15 extra per month. Has anyone tried it and compared it to the Verizon $15 per month Treo as a Modem Plan?

I used it without the Verizon $15 dialup networking plan and it worked great with seemingly no restrictions. I later did sign up for the DUN plan (or rather, my company signed me up) so I could begin testing Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth worked fine once DUN was enabled, but the USB connection allows for download speeds at least twice as fast as Bluetooth.
