Excellent. If oFono's modem object paths have the same properties as Telepathy
account paths (adding a new one "usually" produces a new unique path; keeping
an old one "usually" keeps its old path) then we can use those; if not, perhaps
we can use some properties of the modem, like the name of the hardware or
something?

I opened Bug #71389 to discuss this.
