E.g. the atom's remove() method is called.  This removes all PPP processing from the chat and forces it back into AT command mode.

ok thank you for the explanation.
How atoms force to go back into AT commands mode ? Where is it done in the code ?

I will look to it.

I noticed the gathdlc::new_bytes method when I was looking into the code but I did not understand what this file is it for. Thanks for the hints.
