          Appeal No. 1998-0957                                                         
          Application 08/258,409                                                       


          output in the event of the match;                                            
          the interrupt output of the transceiver operatively coupled                  
          with the interrupt input of the controller.                                  
          The examiner relies on the following references:                             
          Stevens et al. (Stevens)     4,821,291          Apr. 11, 1989                
          Anders et al. (Anders)       4,827,395          May  02, 1989                
          Inagami                      5,058,203          Oct. 15, 1991                
          Claims 22-24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                           
          second paragraph, for failing to particularly point out and                  
          distinctly claim the invention.  Claims 1-45 stand rejected                  
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness the                       
          examiner offers Stevens, Anders and Inagami with respect to                  
          claims 1-21 and 25-45 and just Stevens and Anders with respect               
          to claims 22-24.                                                             
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                         
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                  
          the respective details thereof.                                              
          OPINION                                                                      
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                           
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner, the arguments               
          in support of the rejections and the evidence of obviousness                 
          relied upon by the examiner as support for the obviousness
