They said, we asked our frame relay provider if they are secure and they said yes and we believe them.
<EG> Yup, ask any vendor, they'll tell you the same. Can you imagine them telling you otherwise? This is a process issue. If I develop something, of course I'm going to tell you it is secure unless I know I've created a back door. This does not mean that someone will not catch something else that I've missed.
So to cut a long and tedious conversation short I would very much like to hear from anyone stories of how frame relay connections have been tampered with so that the traffic can be listened to. Listening is enough, the data does not have to be changed.
I've done this by accident myself and I think someone mentioned to me that there is an article over on Phrack. Just change the DLCI number of your connection to another number used by someone else on the same switch. You'll start receiving a copy of all their inbound frames. If this does not convince them, describe what "public network" means. ;) Cheers, Chris
