Absolutely not ridiculous.
I also wanted that feature, and having the provider name is far easier for
me than extracting it from the reverse dns by grepping and comparing.
You see, when I used dial up I also used different providers. Depending on
the provider, I have to use a different mail relay server, having to edit
the postfix transport file; not having that, I edited it by hand before
connecting.
Had I been pissed enough, I would have written a wrap around script for
wvdial. The IP thing did not occur to me at that time, though.
