I do not want to root the phone, nor do I need to. Sprint allows USB tethering and I just need a recommendation for a reliable app that's not a trojan root kit in disguise.
I've Googled around and see a lot of people recommending EasyTether:

I'm rooted, so I haven't looked into much, but I've heard
PdaNet thrown around quite a bit too.

Easytether worked great for me, even unrooted on Verizon. Not as easy as rooted with wifi tether because you need to install a driver (which isn't difficult). The driver is actually placed on te phone I believe for you to just install on the machine.

Easy Tether lite works just fine, so I'll buy the full app. NICE speeds: 4Gb down/1Gb up.

LOL! What an idiot am I. I had Wifi enabled on the phone. Download speed is 900K.
I need to try this out at the store because they have the only 4G tower in the area there right now.

I was kinda thinking you were doing pretty good.
