          Appeal No. 95-2050                                                           
          Application 07/888,098                                                       

                    Claims 8, 9, 21, and 22 depend from claims 3, 8, 17,               
          and 21 respectively and additionally recite updating the data                
          base by selecting a different set of destinations for current                
          operation.  We fail to see how these recitations distinguish                 
          over Bush any more than the claims from which they depend.                   
          For the reasons presented above, the rejection of Claims 8, 9,               
          21, and 22 is sustained.                                                     
          Claims 10 and 23                                                             
                    Claims 10 and 23 depend from claims 3 and 17                       
          respectively and additionally recite establishment of a                      
          communication path to a processor in communication with either               
          an integrated services control point or a control node.  We                  
          find that Bush’s disclosure of a “command routing database”                  
          implies such a processor.                                                    
                    The rejection of claims 10 and 23 is sustained.                    
          Claims 11, 12, 24, and 25                                                    
                    Claims 11, 12, 24, and 25 fall with the claims from                
          which they depend because appellants have presented no                       
          argument for separate patentability.  37 CFR § 1.192.
