Merge multiple wifi APs and broadband into fat pipe

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have broadband DSL and access to a couple of my friends' broadband wifi
access points from my Desktop system. Is there a way to "glue" all these
connections together to create one big, fat pipe to the Web? I realize
that latency wouldn't be improved but what about upload/download speeds for
things like bittorrent which I use to download Linux distros?

Thanks for your help,
Mitchua

Thanks for the hint. I found a review of the Midpoint software at
http://www.serverwatch.com/stypes/ [...] .php/16083 and it seems like
it will do what I want but their website is down. I'll keep checking back.
