I would not bet that Dialpad might work on Linux, but not with any of the
text based browsers. The catch is that the service uses a Java based
program.

As for it being inherantly gui based, Java is definately not. In fact, IBM
has done quite a bit of work with speech access in Java. If memory serves
correctly, they even have a screen reader based entirely on Java. The
catch is that it must run in a virtual machine. It is possible to install
the Sun VM without having X on your system. In fact, apache has some Java
support.
