Yes, you can....:)

Just get to know the VPI and VCI number of Airtel Broadband and configure the modem accordingly. In Dataone, VPI = 0 and VCI = 35.

Also, use your Airtel Broadband Username & Password to connect.

Can you tell your Dataone Modem's model number??

Please refer to this, for complete Airtel modem installation procedure.

I have no experience, but it cannot be used. This modem can be used only for DSL technology based internet connection.

To clarify few things here..
Tata Indicom Uses Modem...
While BSNL and Airtel use Router..Routers are a totally different species and far more smarter than Modem.
Don't know why these Airtel and Bsnl guys still call them Modems :p
A Router can be used with DSL/ADSL which is the Technology BSNL and AIRTEL use..so you can use the same hardware for both.
But Indicom does not have DSL/ADSL and hence their Modem won't work for BSNL/AIRTEL.

Because its router cum modem. It performs both work.

I am scared, a simple router cannot be used as DSL modem.
