There are lot's of 3G options out there, (I've tried most of them, including PDAnet), and if that's what I wanted I would have indicated that in the title of the post. I am always super appreciative of all the awesome help that everyone here has given me, not sure if you read the title of the post or didn't know that PDAnet was 3G only. Thanks for the cyanogenmod suggestion, THAT is a good suggestion that's relevent to the title, and that is awesome. I hope that the info in this page will help others seaching for similar info.
FYI ~ I'm not going to flash a ROM only for the tether options, but I bet there is someone out there who would!
