Mark mentions PDANet in his article. And it won't work on Mac. That's why I use WirelessModem:

...along with a short USB/power cable, it allows me to get on the internet off my PowerBook using my Treo 600 as a modem. Sure, wireless bluetooth would be better, but in the meantime I am pretty darn happy with the solution. I am happy with Sprint's unlimited data plan, and obviously customers took advantage of it, and this is what Sprint has to do in order to curb that abuse. I'd rather see bluetooth data tethering removed than see their prices rise or unlimited plan go away.
Hopefully an enterprising developer will release a patch to bring it back.
