As far as I know, part of the modem functionality is provided by
Desktop Manager (a Windows-only desktop application), so unless somebody
manages to port it to Linux we won't be able to use a Blackberry as a
tethered modem.
Maybe you heard about Barry, a project that provides support for
Blackberry in Linux, but it's initial goal was to provide
backup/restore/syncing functionality. I don't know about the status of
the modem support:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry
XmBlackberry seems to be focused on the modem support and maybe it's
what you are looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmblackberry
There are people reporting success using *both* projects simultaneously:
