          Appeal No. 2001-2369                                                        
          Application 08/728,422                                                      


          personality server.  The examiner finds that it would have been             
          obvious to the artisan to have provided the network oriented                
          system of Yu with the OS translation system of Loucks to provide            
          a highly adaptable system [answer, pages 3-5].                              
          Appellants argue that none of the components of Yu                          
          identified by the examiner teaches the claimed emulation library            
          because each of these components handles both network and non-              
          network commands.  Appellants also argue that the Telnet Server             
          as identified by the examiner cannot be the network since it does           
          not receive all the commands requiring network services.                    
          Appellants argue that any inherent non-network server in Yu does            
          not teach that the server is separate from the emulation library            
          and performs the claimed functions.  Appellants note that Loucks            
          does not provide the missing teachings and, in fact, teaches away           
          from using emulation libraries.  Appellant also argues that                 
          Loucks separates commands by personality rather than by whether             
          the commands require network services [brief, pages 4-9].                   
          The examiner responds that the claimed emulation library                    
          also handles both network and non-network commands.  The examiner           
          also responds that the Telnet Server is a network server as long            
          as it receives at least one network command.  The examiner also             
          asserts that any file server on the system could be the claimed             

                                         -6-
