Can anybody point me to an ISP in Bombay that can supply ISDN or Frame
Relay into the internet.
Thanks

Really? When I was living in India ('95) several "software technology
park"s had been established. In fact, I remember being connected to the
Internet for a number of months via http://www.stph.net (we even stole
several of their employees). Back then, STPH was running access via a
metro microwave LAN to various companies. UUNet India was a few doors down
and didn't even have an Internet connection due to some lawsuit between
business partners (or so I heard).
Of course, I'm sure things have changed by now. I would check, however, if
there is an STP in Bombay that can provide you with service.

There are several providers here, however, VSNL is the company that
controls the access to the satellite transponders and such. Everyone
must go through VSNL for this, even STP. Software tech parks are
growing quickly as they provide office space with internet connectivity
before the clients move in. Of course, none of this helps when VSNL has
some problem and they take all their phones off the hook.
At least when your packets get dropped, they get dropped on the floor
and not in space.
