LG Fusic (LX 550) on Mac

Do you have a Sprint Phone as Modem plan or just one of the
Power Vision
plans?   The normal Power Vision plans do not allow USB or
Bluetooth
tethering with that phone.

Yes I have phone as modem plan. Works fine with my
Sanyo 7500 on a PC. The Sanyo isn't recognized by the
Mac.

Does anyone know where the "Sprint PCS" modem
type is
defined? Is there a script or configuration file that
contains that? Maybe it has an incorrect setting for
flow control.

Thanks
