Appeal No. 1997-2989 Application No. 08/280,343 and removing the call (request) from that remote station from the queue of the pending calls. Lewis communicates only with the remote station whose call (request) has been activated by the host (col. 7) and there is no communication between the host and a remote prior to this activation. Thus, we do not sustain the anticipation rejection of claim 21 and its grouped claims 4, 14, 19 over Lewis. In conclusion, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 to 10, 12 to 15, 17 to 19 and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is reversed. REVERSED KENNETH W.
