Access LAN on Android without wifi

Question

I'm working on a web-app at work, and would like to access my development computer from my HTC Hero device. Preferably linux, but I have access to windows and mac computers. The emulator can debug locally, and helps a lot, but it's not good enough to debug real touch-events.

Ad-hoc wifi will breach our strict network policy. No matter how strict key or MAC-address restrictions it has.

Have anyone found a way to access the LAN through USB or Bluetooth? Bluetooth might be on the edge of our rules, but I will accept it as a solution if it's possible.

I'm not looking for Tethering, but rather the opposite.

I think you can use adb ppp in combination with nc to set up what you need. This guy uses his laptop's internet connection over usb on his phone.
