Alas it would appear that Fido (or as the case probably is, Rogers, given that they own Fido) requested that IP Passthrough be disabled - so it's not even possible.

I have to say that I agree with their comments on the time it takes to open an SMS - it's one of the things that annoys me on a daily basis - I click on my Inbox and it takes 3 seconds to open Messaging - Inbox, then I click on a message and it takes 5 or 6 seconds to open the message.

This is really making me think more seriously about upgrading to a newer device that's not been modified at the request of a provider.

At the risk of being only slightly helpful, I did have a Nokia driver installed on my laptop a few years back that effectively did this for my E61 – sharing my laptop's data connection over sync cable. One of the big brains here will know what it's called…
