[clug] asymmetric routing

Hi List,

I have two 3G wireless devices, one is my mobile and the other one is a USB
dongle. The problem with the USB dongle is that uploads will also count
towards my quota.

I am wondering if there is a way to tweak the routing table or the firewall
to dedicate all downloads through the USB dongle and keep my uploads through
my mobile connection? That is, for a normal tcp connection, all
acknowledgments get sent out via the phone 3G connection?

Or do you have other creative ideas? Not sure if Cisco IOS can do this, but
a lot of people run Cisco IOS on Linux and bridge it to the physical
interfaces.

Thanks,

Chris
