I don't think this will work.  DoCoMo states for Foma --
HT-03A本体をパソコンなどと接続して行うデータ通信はできません。 You can google 主な対応サービス・機能一覧表 if
you want the original document but that is about all the info there is
anway...

Yes, but you don't get root access afaik.  Google shut down tethering
and I haven't seen a way to do this with cupcake.

Of course I may be wrong on both counts...
