Question [Q] Is this even possible?

I am a new user of CyanogenMod and I absolutely find it better than the stock ROM that comes with the Droid Incredible. I am relatively new to the whole using a rooted phone, but I support it all the way due to giving me exactly what I want....total control over my phone.

With that being said, I am always looking for ways to go above and beyond what the phone is capable of and was just wondering this...

A friend that I work with was telling me about how you can, on an unrooted phone, you can dial ##778 and get into some menu within the phone, not necessarily the Incredible, but alter something to do with the EPST so that you can use a WiFi tether application without using your data plan.

1. I would like to know if it is possible to do the ##778 on a rooted Incredible w/ CyanogenMod 7? When I dial it, I don't get the menu like I should be getting, all that I hear is that dialed circuits are busy.

2. If anyone out there has successfully done this, or is just able to use WiFi tether without using data plan, any information that could point me in to the right direction and steps to reproduce would be greatly appreciated.
