Using multiple EVDO cards to increase capacity

I would like to know if anyone has done this and if yes, then what software and hardware have you used to implement it.
Seems to me that it should be possible to load balance across two EVDO connections to get increased capacity, but I would really love to hear if anyone has any pointers to get me going. I would be more than happy to share my results with folks.

Thanks,

Cod.

I actually figured out how to do this on linux. Still working on Win32.

without the participation of the carrier, i would think that the most you could hope to accomplish is splitting the load across multiple connections, rather than aggregation of bandwidth.

can you describe in better detail, what it is you say you have accomplished?

I split the outbound traffic at the client 50-50, send it over two separate EVDO connections to a remote server which I control, then reaggregate the traffic together into one stream at that server and send it on its way.

so basically... this is like bittorrent?
