Quitting a
Remote-Access
Session

After

you’ve entered the password, you can quit by sending one of these

Before you disconnect, issue the ATI5 command to the remote modem
and check its S41 setting. Make sure S41 is set for a value of 1 or greater.
If S41 is set to 0, when you disconnect you will not be able to access the
remote modem again. To prevent this send ATS41=1&W before yo
disconnect.

And keep the connection.
