yeah shouldn't be a problem.
you could even hack up something that grepped the phonebook.txt for the 
right number.
and then downloaded the updated phonebook.txt - you would need to figure 
out the URL using an upstream proxy or something.
gric is just a bunch of ISPS agreeing to let other customers use them 
for local call access, and passing the authentication off to the 
customers home isp.

[SLUG] Any GricDial experience with Linux?

[Grant Parnell]

Got a client that's just got international roaming dialup through Telstra. 
They send them off to this site www.gricdial.co.uk where you download this 
7MB executable for Windows to support the global dialup... WTF?  {time 
passes} oh... thankfully looks like it's just software to get phone 
numbers of local ISP's... hopefully I can just dial up normally.
