          KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                         

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1-5, 7-15, 17-25 and 27-31.                                          
               The invention is directed to a video communication system.             
          More particularly, the system permits teleconferencing, involving           
          the transmission of high-quality color video images, meeting NTSC           
          standards, over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) lines which are               
          part of a computer network.
