EIGRP load balancing over unequal cost links

All,

I am struggling to get EIGRP to load-balance across unequal cost links. I
have 1 OC-3, and 2 T3's directly connected between 2 routers. I believe
that variance is the key to what I want to accomplish, but all 3 paths'
metric is 0 (directly connected), so variance can't do anything for me
unless or until I change the metric of my 2 T3's to something greater than
0.

The problem with NOT load-balancing is that once the 2 T3's reach
capacity, they start dropping packets, but I have no yet used even 1/3 of
the OC-3.

I would really appreciate insight from anyone who has done this
before successfully, or who just knows what I shoud do to make this work.

Thanks,
Troy
