This message is just to inform you that you are loading a proprietary module which is not supported
by the Linux kernel developers. It also serves as a warning that the drivers have not been officially
tested with the kernel, and may cause problems, and tells you that you should not send bug reports to the
kernel developers if you face system instability or any other problems after loading these proprietary
drivers.

<para> This is usually solved by adding <command> ATX3 </command> to your modem init strings.
The process of adding the ATX3 init string varies depending on the dialer you are using.
For example, if you are using <application>wvdial</application>, you need to add X3 at the end
of the <computeroutput>Init2</computeroutput> line in the file <filename>/etc/wvdial.conf</filename>.
On the other hand, if you are using <application>KPPP</application>, you will have to add ATX3 in
the <computeroutput>Initialization String 1</computeroutput> field, which can be found in the
<computeroutput>Modem Commands</computeroutput> section of the <computeroutput> Modem</computeroutput>
of the <computeroutput>Setup</computeroutput> dialogue box of KPPP.
