After you mentioned the licence issue I got curious and searched
dialup-admin. I found:

In my eyes that's all "only" ;) a question of DB-queries. So I don't see
the advantage (for my needs) of programing a new "DB-Interface". Have
you tried "freeside" (http://www.sisd.com/freeside)?. I can't tell you
much about it I only had a glance at it. AFAIK it offers for instance
automated invoices.
