prj,

Don't know about PDAnet...I would think it should work regardless of the ROM, but you'll have to search-around to see if anyone has reported issues with that.

You can get to recovery a couple of different ways...when you press volume-down and end/power (or send and end/power) this takes you to the "HBOOT" screen which should show you:

Code:
HBOOT
 
<SEND> FastBoot Mode
<VOL UP> Recovery
From here you can press volume-UP to initiate custom recovery.

Or you can press and hold volume-UP and end/power...keep pressing volume-UP until you see the custom recovery menu (this is essentially what you I just described above--I'm guessing that the boot program sees that you are still pressing the volume-UP button and doesn't see the need to display the stuff above (or its too fast to me to see, lol)).

You can also launch it via the adb program ("adb reboot recovery").

Cheers!
