I dont know what you mean by tether. I'm a corporate bb user, so a lot of the stuff you have to do, I may not have to deal with.
I own the bb and the company I do consulting for lets me into their BES. Once I allow that, they pretty much take over the entire ball of wax, with their enterprise mgmt tools.
However, I've switched out BBs and used desktop manager. That is a PC only app as far as I know. You may need to run fusion or parallels to use desktop mgr.
Was this any help. ?? Probably not. sorry I couldnt be more help.
If you explain what teathering is. I may be more help, as I've lived with a BB for the last 4 years.
