          Appeal No. 97-1200                                                          
          Application No. 08/200,945                                                  


                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 26                
          through 30.  In a first Amendment After Final (paper number 22),            
          claim 29 was amended, and in a second Amendment After Final                 
          (paper number 28), claims 29 and 30 were amended.  According to             
          the examiner (paper number 29), the latter amendment had the                
          effect of overcoming the indefiniteness rejection.  In a letter             
          (paper number 45) requesting withdrawal of the request for oral             
          hearing, appellant requested that the appeal of claim 27 be                 
          withdrawn.  In view of the withdrawal of the appeal of claim 27,            
          the only claims that remain before us on appeal are claims 26 and           
          28 through 30.                                                              
               The disclosed invention relates to a telecommunications                
          method and apparatus for evaluating a third plurality of dialing            
          signals in a dialing sequence to determine whether the dialing              
          signals are located in the dialing sequence to accomplish                   
          international dialing.  If the third plurality of dialing signals           
          are located in a position for international dialing, then the               
          telecommunications apparatus prevents the establishment of an               
          international telephone call.                                               




                                          2
