Don't need to wipe.
I don't use Clockwork Mod
Download this.
Put it on your SD card.
Power off your phone. hold the "X" key on the keyboard and power it on, keep holding on to "X" until it goes into recovery.
(If your using Bugless Beast v0.4 all you need to do press "X" and the power button at the same time.)
Use the volume buttons (Up/down) to navigate to "install zip from sdcard" select it with the camera button.
select "choose zip from sdcard"
Navigate to where you saved the baseband zip. and select it.
It will run and when complete hit the lock/power button to back out to the main menu then select "reboot system now"
That's how you install any zip w/o using ClockworkMod app. Now if you want you don't need that app anymore. I haven't had it installed since the first time I did just to switch to ClockworkMod recovery.

yeah, I don't know. I always do it the "hard way." I don't see a need for the app. And it is easier to install a ROM, Kernel, and Theme at the same time through the recovery. And I never waste time with Nandroid backups, I never had a problem and if I do, oh well, full reinstall whatever. I always titatium backup my important apps before I do anything.

No.
Are you trying to turn on the phone so that you can plug it into the computer and transfer stuff to the SD or are you trying to boot into recovery and can't get past the M logo?

Phone will do a 'normal' boot, but can't seem to get into recovery mode. How long should it take for the Moto Logo to go away?

So you can boot into Android, but you can't get into recovery?
It should take less than 10secs. Make sure you hold "X" down before you hit power button and keep holding it until it gets into recovery

not getting exact choices above first level has an 'install' choice next level has 'choose rom from sd card' but yields no choices I am going to boot and move downloaded file to root dir, but does it need to be named 'update.zip' ???

Try what I said (flash alternate recovery, then back to CW) and you will be fine. You can do this from Rom Manager then install the baseband upgrade. Had the same issue when trying to flash a new rom/kernels. You don't need to go through the trouble of the above steps. As a matter of fact, I don't think the above steps will work as your recovery is wonky.

I am using the alternate to get to recovery mode and could not navigate to the zip file. Just put a copy on root dir and tried again, but still does not see. I think I need to rename it to 'update.zip'. .

No. Power off, reboot your phone and once you are up and running go to rom manager and flash alternate recovery. Once that completes, flash CW again. Once that is complete install baseband upgrade via rom manager. Easy peasy.

may be working now, sorry, was trying to follow CW haters instructions. I just did use the file I downloaded from his link, but used CW. It is booting now.... I hope... yep there the eye. Will check version of Baseband now.... well, after I reactivate, which means it must have worked. As truck driver, I can use any improvement in signal management!
