Now that I've gotten into the BIOS, I realize there is no option to disable IR and enable 
the serial port. I have the tpctl tool installed, but I have no idea how to use it. Can 
someone point me to a good guide on using it or give me a brief summary of the commands I 
need to use to disable IR and enable my COM port?
