[sf-lug] bonding 3G via bluetooth...

Here's an idea I've been mulling over.
Scenario: Let's say, we have two Bluetooth-enabled 3G phones with "all
you can eat" contract. Let's say, I also have a DSL connection (eth0)
that runs into a home LAN management machine (Linux box to manage
traffic, etc.). What if I install two Bluetooth radios, and create a
bond (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bonding) say, bond0 = eth0
+ bluepppd0 + bluepppd1 and whenever the machine detects one or both
3G phones, it sets up the pppd and bonds into it, thereby increasing
my aggregate bandwidth?
Has anyone tried this?
cheers,
Sameer
