Hi Jon,

Thanks for the reply, it made me realize that I'd left out some context 
that should be made clear to anyone reading my post.

The reason I was looking into this in 2010 was because FedEx had 
announced they were going to retire the DirectConnect method and replace 
it with the Web Services. I'm well aware of why thing's aren't working 
now and am asking if anyone has completed a functioning Interchange 
module that will handle rate lookups via FedEx Web Services.

Also, I've searched the user list and the most recent post I can find 
about it is mine from 2010.

Building a static rate table would not be a viable long-term solution in 
this particular case.

If anyone can be of help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again,
Tom
