[Voyage-linux] Newbie question about initial Voyage install.

[Nick L.]

Running Voyage 0.62 on Alix 2d2 and 3d2 as USB music servers. I want
to add a simple IR (infrared) rs-232 receiver to control the unit via
a hand held remote.

When I did the initial voyage install one of the questions was for
either console or terminal interface. What does that mean exactly?
Which choice allows me to use my serial port for connecting a device
and not as a serial interface? Can that option be changed after
installation?
