          Application No. 08/784,087                                                  



               means for producing a Link Management Protocol (LMP) layer,            
               cooperating with said IrLAP layer, for defining the                    
               specification for establishing service-to-service connection           
               binding, and division of a reliable IrLAP connection to                
               multiple channels, using frame-by-frame multiplexing, and              
               comprising:                                                            

               connection-less data defining rules for the LMP                        
               layer; and                                                             

               connection-less Link Service Access Point (LSAP)                       
               defining rules for establishing a service-to-service                   
               connection by binding a transceiver device LSAP with a host            
               LSAP for transmitting and accepting data in IR transmissions           
               exchanged therebetween.                                                

               The Examiner does not rely on any references.                          

               Claims 13 through 50 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as           
          being non-statutory subject matter.                                         


               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellant and the               
          Examiner, reference is made to the briefs 1 and answers for the             
          respective details thereof.                                                 





               1 Appellant filed an Appeal Brief on January 18, 2000.                 
          Appellant filed a Reply Brief on August 11, 2000.  The Examiner             
          mailed an office communication on August 30, 2000 stating that              
          the Reply Brief has been entered and considered.
