Application No. 08/765,258
the telephone is not connected to the facsimile machine in
Saulsbury, and it can be placed in direct communication with the
computer. Saulsbury is silent as to a telephone connected to the
facsimile machine. Thus, the obviousness rejection of claims
1 through 8 and 10 through 17 is reversed because Saulsbury
neither teaches nor would have suggested to one of ordinary skill
in the art the establishment of a voice link from the computer to
the telephone via the facsimile machine. The obviousness
rejection of claims 9 and 18 is reversed because the teachings of
Wong do not cure the noted shortcoming in the teachings of
Saulsbury.
