It's a hint.  If the modem init fails later on ("no response"), this could
be used to track down modem power failures, or modem cabling issues.

As long as everything works, you can ignore that.

If you want to get rid on it, set your modem to "DSR always on", should be
something like "AT&S1".

Marc, I think this is a FAQ item... thanks.
