I am sure I am not the only one to disapprove of the "solution" posted (winner of Alex King's bounty).

If you can plug an 8700 into a USB port in windows and use it as a modem, there is no reason to need a proxy, which is REQUIRED in the "solution" posted above.

After I move cross country next month I will dig deeper into this issue and when I come up with a solution, it will be open source. I am sure a lot of people won't mind that they will have to tether their BB in order for a FREE solution.
