for me freetether via usb is much aster than the hacked hotspot app and charges rather than drains my battery. Even when I plug in while hotspotting it drains.

I have a nasty inconvenience with FreeTether: After using it, I can't connect to my Pre- through Novacom. Nor console, nor WebOSQuickInstall, nothing. Replugging the USB cable won't do, but rebooting the phone does the trick. Pity...

Restart the Novacom service.
Click Start > (Select Run on winXP) > type 'services.msc'
Locate Palm Novacom service, rightclick and select Restart.

Forgot to say, of course I also restarted the "novacomd" service, and still can't connect. By the way, it's much more convenient to do it from Windows' console:

Code:
SC STOP novacomd
SC START novacomd

Default Where is Freetether?

It was in Preware this morning, went back to download again and I can't find it anywhere, on preware or in Precentral under apps. Somebody please help.
