Not yet. I haven't worked on any versions newer than Quickbooks 2004
Enterprise.

I have looked into it a little bit. It seems the principle limitation is that
they require a windows application to do the sync. I was thinking of something
like:
Interchange <-> Internet <-> Windows App <-> QuickBooks
There doesn't need to be anything Interchange-specific about the module either,
so it could be put on CPAN.
