Between. The MUXer behaves like IP for networking, turning one physical modem
into multiple virtual modems exposed through serial ports.

In a nutshell:
1. Start the MUXer (using dbus system bus activation or by hand).
2. Request a channel using dbus. On the command line you can do this e.g.
with:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.mobile.mux /org/mobile/mux/RemoteObject
org.mobile.mux.RemoteInterface.alloc_channel string:foo
you will be returned a path e.g. /dev/pts/3
3. Start your GSM daemon (gsmd, gsmd2, pygsmd, qtopiacomm)
Optionally:
4. Request another channel and start another client, e.g. to read phonebook
while not disturbing standard gsmd operation, or to talk ppp, etc.

Sure. Check packages/freesmartphone/ in OE or use the ipkg from
http://buildhost.vanille.de/fic-gta01/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv4t/gsm0710muxd_0.9.0%2bsvnr116-r0_armv4t.ipk
