I thought about this, but (without checking properly) I think they both
provide the same dbus service name – if we really want to have both
installable, we need to modify that, which would break third party
stuff.

Anyways, there seems to be little use in having both muxers (as only one
of them can access the modem at the same time anyways), so I’d not
bother.

It doesn’t call it via the binary, but via dbus calls to a well-known
bus name, see above.

Anyways, these (minor) problems will be gone when fso-abyss can be used.
