>From your description, it should be possible to run two instances. Just create two users, move the /etc/profile code to .profile, and have /etc/profile instantiate two daemons - one per user.
I don't know the details, but if all VSI-FAX is using is environment variables, then that's just standard practice ... if on the other hand it's got hard-coded pathnames embedded in the program itself ...

The software is installed in the $PATH and uses the $PATH to execute various and sundry things. It's initiated via /etc/profile, and looks for hard-coded instances of itself in hard-coded environment variables. The best we can do is install both copies, but only run one at a time by moving it into place. That's how the upgrade was done, so downgrading wasn't as difficult as it might have otherwise been.
