ICU 2.0 (coming soon) will have an ISCII converter: http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/download/2.0/

If you do not want to wait until the release, then you can get the current snapshot from CVS (no guarantees as usual with getting snapshots...)

Please give it a try.

Some versions of Windows also have an ISCII converter, via the COM conversion interface (IMultiLanguage?).
