Kane, the examiner turns to Lucas (answer, pages 5 and 6) for a
teaching of originating a message in one city and terminating the

have been obvious to expand the local system of Kane to a
regional system. The examiner additionally (answer, pages 6 and
7) relies upon Gaskill for a teaching of sending messages
globally, and in particular for a teaching of addressing messages

We find that Kane is directed to an electronic mail delivery
system for delivering messages. A paging terminal is coupled to
the electronic mail network (col. 1, line 65 through col. 2 line

the input of central terminal 102 via a Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) to initiate page requests (col. 3, lines 4-10).
Paging transmitter systems 124, 126 route messages from central
terminal 102 for reception by selective call receivers 130, which
