OK Brandon (and others):

 I got NetBSD 1.6.2 to dial out using the USB modem and I pinged an
external address. I have a few quick questions:
     1. in /etc/rc.conf  should my hostname have a period at the end "."
        like so "notebook.silbsd.org."
     2. Is there a relase version of the kernel that I can use or should
        I update to CURRENT? As a newbie I am tempted to stick with the
        stable version.
