You can use ntpctl instead, this is a ncurses-gui for tpctl. In addition
there is tpctlir -- an utility that enables or disables the infrared
subsystem on ThinkPads with Programmable Option Select.

Please refer to http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/tpctlhome.htm for
additional information about tpctl. 

Thomas Hood has detailed information on his page how to use tpctl on an
TP600: http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/tp600lnx.htm

Bill Mair has more information for 770-users:

Greetz,
Andre
