SIGHUP indicates that a hang up signal was received by the process
connected to that line (I assume this is
/dev/ttyUSB0 from previous mail) because the line was marked as down
by the kernel.

See SIGHUP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal

I don't know the exact definition of down - presumably one of the
serial signals indicates the line is no longer connected and
has gone away - perhaps an expert can give a precise definition of the signals.

I suspect it means the radio modem loss connection - probably because
the other end shut things down - perhaps because
as you say Optus's other end was not in a state to proceed any further.
