Does Knoppix come with a program (like Hyper Terminal or TeraTerm) that will let you console in to devices (like a Cisco router)?

The program you are looking for is called minicom http://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ a serial communications program which is included with knoppix. I used it to talk across the serial port to a fax modem and you should be able to use it to talk to the console on a cisco router that uses that "rollover cable".
I hope this helps.
