                Application 09/840,469                                                                         

           1          The prior art relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the claims on                     
           2    appeal is:                                                                                     
           3                                                                                                   
                Kohut                      US 6,338,008 B1           Jan.    8, 2002                           
                Coppola                    US 6,360,138 B1           Mar. 19, 2002                             
                Devine                     US 6,763,376 B1           Jul.   13, 2004                           
           4                                                                                                   
           5          The Examiner reasons that Coppola discloses the invention as                             
           6    claimed, except that Coppola does not disclose an integrated customer                          
           7    interface system with a single display controller running a plurality of                       
           8    displays.  The Examiner relies on Devine for teaching a single display                         
           9    controller for running a plurality of displays.  The Examiner finds that the                   
          10    Frame NAT (Network Address Translator)/Router depicted in Figure 2 of                          
          11    Devine is a display controller running a plurality of displays.                                
          12                                                                                                   
          13          Appellants contend that Devine does not disclose or suggest a display                    
          14    controller which runs browser applications for each of a plurality of displays                 
          15    and which has an assigned Internet Protocol (IP) address with each of the                      
          16    browser applications having a unique port associated with the IP address.                      
          17

          19          Have Appellants shown that the Examiner erred in finding that Devine                     
          20    discloses a display controller which runs browser applications for each of a                   
          21    plurality of displays and which has an assigned IP address with each of the                    
          22    browser applications having a unique port associated with the IP address?                      
          23                                                                                                   

                                                      3
