          Appeal No. 1999-2380                                                        
          Application No. 08/575,743                                Page 13           

               From all of the above, we therefore find that the examiner             
          has failed to establish a prima facie case of obviousness of the            
          invention found in independent claims 1, 7, 11, 15, 17, 18, and             
          20.  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1-4, 6-8, 10-12, and              
          14-20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.                                 
               We turn next to the rejection of claims 5, 9, and 13 under             
          35 U.S.C. § 103(a) where the examiner additionally relies upon              
          the teachings of Judson for a teaching of packets including                 
          applets.  We will not sustain the rejection of these claims                 
          because Judson does not make up for the deficiencies of the basic           
          combination of Jacobson and Futral.  Accordingly, the rejection             
          of claims 5, 9, and 13 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed.
