I don't see how a transition like than can be seamless when I, for instance,
have an SSH or FTP session. The ssh/ftp server would most definitely
disconnect from the client, if the client changes its IP address.
Or am I totally wrong?
The IP address of the client need not change - if a VPN is used...
of course, movement is constrained to an area with sufficiently many
accessible Wi-Fi routers. Perhaps this is an issue with the underlying
Wi-Fi support?
2. If multiple routers can be accessed, it would be great if the
bandwidth of these routers could be combined, for example, when
downloading a large file.
I once read something about combining multiple independent network interfaces
(each with its own IP address) to make single requests, but it sounded rather
complicated IIRC.
It is complicated, IMHO - but not impossible. Perhaps it is impractical
- I'm not sure. It would be neat.

P.S. Humph - while (as far as I can tell) I had mobile connections
working from my desk - today, trying to use the connection in real life,
it failed... what's more - my adoption of Blueman prevented my old
wvdial script from working - or, at least, I think that's what changed.
Hurumph - it is rather temperamental.
