Nevermind, I figured it out. There is actually a little blurb in the palm os companion volume 2 that talks about opening a configuration. The example deals specifically with wireless connections.
So, if anyone is wondering how to do it, you can open NetLib with the default wireless configuration. This will show the same modal dialog that you see when connecting to the browser or the mail application (at least on the Tungsten C). I could not figure out a way to do this using POL::CNetLib, so I had to derive a class from it and provide a different version of Open() that takes a configuration name and opens the library that way.
