Hi Hugh, I would not recommend jail breaking to anyone. Turning your iPhone (or 3G enabled iPad) into a hotspot will be a standard feature of the soon to be released iOS 4.3.
See, for instance, the "Personal Hotspot" section of this article: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/13/first_look_new_sms_alert_settings_multitouch_ipad_gestures_in_apples_ios_4_3.html I will be trying the feature over the next few days and I will let the group know how it goes.
