I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that worked. I wouldn't have said it 
was a given that an iPhone personal hotspot would do routing between 
multiple WiFi devices connected to it. Obviously between the WiFi and 
the phone, but...

Of course the downside of this approach is the iPhone itself switches 
away from WiFi when you do this, and any data usage *it* does while you 
are working goes over the phone, potentially costing you money... I once 
ran up a >$2000 phone bill while roaming in HK because I didn't realise 
an online broker's app was still running on the phone, streaming 
prices...
