          Appeal No. 2000-2237                                                        
          Application 08/723,712                                                      

          communicate with a land station under the second control protocol           
          when the handset is moved beyond range of the local base station.           
          Nagashima teaches a “manual” command [e.g., see the abstract                
          portion of Nagashima].  Therefore, as argued by appellants [reply           
          brief, page 11], to replace the automatic system selection of               
          Schellinger with manual selection would appear to be contrary to            
          the Schellinger teachings.                                                  
               None of the additional references cited by the examiner                
          against the dependent claims provides for the deficiencies of               
          Nagashima and Schellinger noted supra.
