As long as you don't go over 5GB you should be fine. I've tethered with my 6600 and 6700 using WModem and I never had a problem. The key here is they all use Dial Up Networking and connect using the same login as your standard data connection. Given that, and with Multiple NAI disabled, I believe the only way for Verizon to determine where the traffic is coming from is with a deep packet analysis and even then, they would be hard pressed to prove what kind of device it is intended for. I believe if Verizon knows you are tethering, you simply would not be allowed to connect. __________________
