          Appeal No. 2003-2074                                                        
          Application No. 09/095,325                                                  

          message do not specifically disclose a first address at or                  
          associated with a host system to be used with the mobile client”            
          (Paper No. 25-page 4).                                                      
               Specifically with regard to claims 104, 105, and 109-114,              
          the examiner is concerned with the language describing that upon            
          receiving a reply message at a forwarding component associated              
          with a host system, forwarding the received message.  The                   
          examiner explains that while the specification, at page 15, line            
          20 through page 16, line 11, describes forwarding a sent message            
          to a mobile client, and, at page 20, line 21 through page 21,               
          line 32, describes sending the reply message, the description               
          only relates to the host system sending messages to the client,             
          but not sending messages in the reverse direction, and to a                 
          client controller optimizing the reply message by calculating a             
          difference using a delta routine between the reply message and              
          the preceding message, the client then sending the reply message            
          to the host system.  However, the examiner contends, there is no            
          disclosure of a forward component to forward messages in the                
          specification; i.e., forwarding messages to the mobile client and           
          sending the reply to the message sender do not specifically                 
          disclose a forward component to the host system to forward                  
          messages.                                                                   
                                         -5-
