[Wlug] Android USB tethering

Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB? I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone. It says you need to run companion software on your PC, and they offer that software for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux. I don't have internet access to my home anymore, so I can't search repositories like I used to. -- Thanks! Rich
