          Appeal No. 2002-1761                                                        
          Application No. 09/169,757                                                  



          detecting at the service node a Short Message Services message              
          notification from the subscriber’s voice mailbox: Figure 3,                 
          elements 46, 44, 42, 40 and column 4, lines 57-67.                          
          transmitting the message notification to the adjunct processor:             
          Figure 3, service provider 40, and column 5, lines 51-67.                   
          determining at the adjunct processor the at least one designated            
          destination server for the subscriber: Figure 3, service provider           
          40.                                                                         
          routing the message notification to the at least one local                  
          Internet gateway: Figure 3, service provider 40.                            
          transmitting from the adjunct processor to the local Internet               
          gateway the at least one designated destination server for the              
          subscriber: Figure 3, elements 44, 42, 40.                                  
          routing the message notification to the at least one designated             
          destination server: column 5, lines 51-67.                                  

               For his part, appellant argues that many claimed limitations           
          are not disclosed by Pepe.  In particular, appellant cites                  
          “detecting at [a] service node a Short Message Services message             
          notification from the subscriber’s voice mailbox” and                       
          “transmitting the message notification to adjunct processor.”               
          Appellant urges that Pepe cannot disclose these claim limitations           
          because Pepe’s PCI network does not use Short Message Services,             
          but uses AMIS-Analog Protocol instead.                                      
               Appellant also argues that Pepe makes no determination at              
          the adjunct processor of the at least one designated destination            

                                         -4–
