Address directory

I would have a look around in www.hotscripts.com in the PHP section, there are probably a few hundred of these to choose from. Pick one that has a decent demo page and documentation available, because otherwise this will become a head-first introduction to programming. Also, for your initial import, look for one that will accept input by CSV or another text format. It’s pretty easy to coerce Excel or Numbers to export something usable, and that will keep you from clicky-clickying on the Web admin interface forever.

Inasfar as integration with Freeway, I would either use the iFrame action or simply have a link to the directory.

Perhaps there is an “out of the box” server based solution (preferaby free) that I can use.

Any suggestions/advice?
