Well, this is a little odd.  The trace shows the modem was detected and
enumerated correctly.  But there's nothing corresponding to when you
loaded the hso driver.  In fact, there's nothing after uhci-hcd 
finished starting up and the unconnected root hubs were suspended.

Did you look in /proc/bus/usb/devices at this point?  And what about
the files in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hso/?

This suggests the problem may lie in the hso driver itself, or in a
failure to bind the driver to the device.
