          Appeal No. 96-0651                                                          
          Application No. 08/087,164                                                  


          because Herh has no need of such “packets” since all of the                 
          necessary processing of the updated operating code information              
          takes place within the modem itself.  Therefore, the claimed                
          interaction between the modem and the local host computer and               
          the claimed processing by the local host computer in creating               
          the “packets” are not taught or suggested by Herh.                          
               The reference to Seibert, applied together with Herh with              
          regard to claims 3, 6 and 12, does not provide for the                      
          deficiencies of Herh.                                                       
               Accordingly, we will not sustain the rejection of claims               
          1 through 4, 6 and 10 through 12 under 35 U.S.C. 103.
