Alright, so, here we are, a bunch of "1337" forum users, and we have something to complain about. Some poor new user who's apparently a newbie at forums isn't following every guideline we've set out for the newbies. So the right thing to do is chew him/her out and just ignore it afterwards, right?
NO!
If you have a gripe, fine, say something about it. But answer their question at least! Otherwise, how're you any better? Your posts become offtopic! Sure, they can claim they're a newbie on every forum they go to, but can't you give 'em the benefit of the doubt? We're supposed to be a helpful (if perhaps not friendly) community after all!

With that said...

In any console you should be able to use the "telnet" command. The basic syntax is the same as with Windows: telnet [host] [port]. As for where you'll find a console, well, look in the menu; there's several different ones you can choose from. Also, if I recall correctly, by default there'll be one as an icon near the menu button.

What brand, model and type of mouse are you using? (Logitech MX700 USB, for example.)
Also, if all you need is the telnet command, you can switch over to a text console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 (or F3, or F4). And whenever you're done using Knoppix (and have logged out of the remote system), you can reboot/shutdown by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL. (Using the "reboot" or "shutdown now" commands should work too, but I got stuck when I used "shutdown now", recently, for some reason.)
