I assume you mean LOCAL fedex rate table lookups. I did this by downloading the FedEx csv's from thier website. Then I put them in my database(mysql in my case). You will also need some way to lookup zone based on zipcode. You can find a csv for this too, but you will need to largely rework it. Next, I wrote a usertag that takes a shipping type(say, FEG) and a zipcode, and does the proper lookup. Then create a new shipping mode to use this tag and put it it shipping.asc. Largely the process is just tedious. And you must be very careful that it is extensible enough so that when you client changes their mind about calculation you don't need to go get the gun. The other thing that you might find difficult is accessing your new tables in a usertag. Make sure you have a mvasp tag that share them. Do some searching in the archives for more information on this. Finally, make sure you grab the 2003 rate tables, since it is 2003 in 3 days ;P. Remember, that a usertag that returns 0 and is used by shipping, makes that shipping mode not show up. This is either a feature or a bug depending on your requirements.
