This is a HOW-TO showing every step I took to install the HSO driver and HSOconnect on a new Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit system.
This Howto uses links in to my forum to download specific files but you should always check that you are using the latest version of files if you run in to problems.
What do we see without any drivers installed?
Plug the device in , open a console and type dmesg:
[ 4037.260492] scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access ZCOPTION HSDPA Modem 3.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

Download the HSO driver source
On my system Firefox downloads files to the Desktop so that is where I look for the files
Open up a console and type....
paul@r60-ubuntu:~$cd ~/Desktop
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ tar zxf hso-1.2.tar.gz
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ cd hso
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hso$ make
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hso$ sudo make install
Download rezero
and compile it (Note: I remove the rezero binary that is already there to force a clean compile).
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hso$ cd ~/Desktop/
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ mkdir hsoudev
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ mv hso-udev.tar.gz hsoudev
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ cd hsoudev
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ tar zxf *
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ rm rezero
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ make
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ sudo make install
Unplug the Icon and plug it back in again.
Type dmesg to see what has changed...
[ 4957.883380] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access ZCOPTION HSDPA Modem 3.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
.........
[ 4959.784329] HSO: Found Network port hso0
[ 4959.784503] HSO: Found Control port /dev/ttyHS0
[ 4959.784585] HSO: Found Application port /dev/ttyHS1
[ 4959.787005] HSO: Found Diagnostic port /dev/ttyHS2
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$
Now check the access permissions:
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ ls -al /dev/ttyHS*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 253, 0 2008-06-15 09:58 /dev/ttyHS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 253, 1 2008-06-15 09:58 /dev/ttyHS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 253, 2 2008-06-15 09:58 /dev/ttyHS2
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$
Am I in the dialout group?
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$ grep dialout /etc/group
dialout:x:20:paul
paul@r60-ubuntu:~/Desktop/hsoudev$
Yes I am 
If I was not in the dialout group then I could use the command:
usermod -a -G dialout paul
Download and install hsolinkcontrol (hsolink i386 deb)
Download and install HSOconnect
Test this works:
python -m hsoc
The HSOconnect can be found in the Applications/Internet menu.
