Technical Support
It's very useful because it means that if you set two series connected filters at the same frequency (filters # 1 and 3 or 2 and 4) the boost or cut value of each filter sums. Simply stated you get up to plus or minus 24 dB of adjustment through the use of a pair of filters. See similar questions...

(See also questions 19.1 and 19.2.) Under MS-DOS, you can use the predefined stream stdaux, or a special file like COM1, or some primitive BIOS interrupts, or (if you require decent performance) any number of interrupt-driven serial I/O packages.
