Although primarily concerned with collating available information from TJC in one place with respect to usage upon Mac OSX 10.14.6, results were such that upon Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS an Ethernet connection was created without issue and upon Windows 10 a LAN connection also registered. I have now tried this with GeminiPDA and Sailfish ports upon Nexus 5 (3.0.3.9), OnePlus X (3.0.3.9) and Fairphone 2 (thanks to Mal now 3.1.0.12). My broadband supplier seems to take a delight in disrupting service without warning between 03.00 - 06.00hrs.

Firstly USB tether upon Mac OSX requires installation of HORNDIS available from: https://joshuawise.com/horndis

Prime requisite is installation of "usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-connman-config" as root and then subsequent modification of these three files so advised to create copies first:-
connection_sharing.ini
developer_mode-android.ini
main.conf

HTML Code:
[root@Sailfish nemo]# cd /home/nemo/Downloads
[root@Sailfish Downloads]# pkcon refresh

Starting

The following packages have to be installed:

[root@Sailfish Downloads]# cp main.conf /etc/connman/
cp: overwrite `/etc/connman/main.conf'? yes
[root@Sailfish Downloads]# cp developer_mode-android.ini /etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/
cp: overwrite `/etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/developer_mode-android.ini'? yes
[root@Sailfish Downloads]# cp connection_sharing.ini /etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/
cp: overwrite `/etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/connection_sharing.ini'? yes
[root@Sailfish Downloads]#
Please note reboot required to allow changes to take place and will need to alter USB settings as will have defaulted to developer mode upon USB connection. As regards to any security issues introduced by such modification, it requires someone more knowledgeable than myself.
