That generally happens because the underlying AT command port for the 
GAtChat has been closed (most likely due to a serial line hangup).

What modem are you using?  Some manufacturers' modems are known to have 
this issue: whenever the PPP connection is dropped, the AT command port 
is closed by the modem.  Issuing AT&C0 should disable this behavior, but 
some modems do not honor that command.
