you can access WMS servers with the r.in.wms module. this will give you a raster map. If you want data not just a pretty picture make sure the server supports the GeoTiff format. (???) SERVER="http://www.geodaten.bayern.de/ogc/getogc.cgi?" r.in.wms mapserver="$SERVER" -l # adding --verbose to that will show you a working URL for firefox r.in.wms mapserver="$SERVER" layer=TK50 out=TK50_Bavaria ....
