Dave from Connectify here. You hit it right on the head. The cloud-based service is still in consideration, but for the meantime everyone gets to run their own server. If you don't have access to one big pipe in a physical location, you can rent a VPS and spin up your own cloud server.
Dave from Connectify filling in for Alex here. Here's our Dispatch FAQ: http://www.connectify.me/dispatch-faq/. As you can see, Linux is behind Mac and Mac is a ways off. The benefit of Switchboard is that it can bond channels, so it can help every application you can think of, including those Dispatch can't (video streaming, file uploading, VPNs). We thought fixing all the complaints for Dispatch (supporting more applications AND more platforms) was a winning goal.
Hi,
This is Dave, the lead developer on Switchboard. Alex had to step into a meeting, so I'll be sitting in for him for a bit. It's not exactly a switch in the traditional sense, but the Switchboard code takes into account bandwidth, latency and loss to decide which connection to send traffic over in a bonded channel.
Thanks for the questions, and keep them coming!
Dave

Dave from Connectify here. Right you are. The second description you gave is technically correct, but didn't have nearly the sizzle of your first!

You are not the 6-fingered man!

I'd like to know how you do this without third-party software. A detailed set of instructions would be helpful!
