Hi Matthew,
	I'd prefer the keep it as just 'hso' and change the textual description if 
necessary. I think module names are just arbitrary, and should not 
necessarily reflect the original usage too well, otherwise you end up with a 
situation like with the 'option' module. That module is now used for many 
devices from differing manufacturers and it doesn't really make much sense to 
load the option module to service a device from Novatel, Sierra Wireless or 
Huawei.

Just my two pence,


Andrew
