I use a Sprint Treo 650, and get unlimited data for $15/mo (Sprint
Vision). I connect my PowerBook through the treo every now and then
(when the little screen and slow CPU gets too annoying). I don't use
any hack, and I get unlimited data to the powerbook at no extra cost,
by just enabling DUN in the Treo bluetooth settings.
I've got 1xRTT though. Don't know about the EVDO service.

laptop to the web using voice service only, but doesn't pay data

You probably already knew this...
