Actually I have a set of client applications that need to transfer data
at rates that totally exceed the uploading capacity of a single HSUPA
connection. However, the bandwidth of the connection is sufficient for a
single client. So I thought of using a pool of connections that would be
allocated to the clients.
I will try to follow the instructions you suggest.
Thank you
