Need to teather - alternative to paying the VZW $20?

[Power]

Hey guys - going on vacation where I will not have internet access but for my phone. On blackberry I had a sweet Tether app (Tether BlackBerry | BlackBerry Modem | Tether I think) and it would allow tethering w/o VZW takin' all ma' moneyz.

So anyway- I need to tether this laptop to the Droid by this Saturday. I could turn on the VZW tethering for the week and get it pro-rated, but I'd like a more permanent solution anyway without paying $240 a year!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

To the OP, install PDANET on your phone and your laptop. There are some special steps you'll have to do on your phone but it works great for tethering. I think the site to download to your laptop is junefabrics.com. They have instructions how to install on your phone. Have to install it on both the phone and the laptop but it works well.

Just to tweak the thread once more. I did get my Verizon Hotspot working yesterday.
