changing bios settings, without eyes, how?

[Sean McMahon]

You can set the blt to full-duplex, they call it, is that the same as
bi-directional?  I don't know about not being able to send out via cerial.  Mine
seems to make sounds and say weird jiberish when the computer starts that is
when I turn it on and after the first beep.
