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.
