Seems quite clear to me.  For those that wish to use vgetty or egetty these
messages would be very important to see.  Furthermore, faxsetup execution
doesn't even pause here, it moves right on with the show, so I can't
imagine why anyone would be concerned about these warnings unless they
aren't reading the explanation - and if they don't read the explanation, it
doesn't matter what it says.
