hey guys I'm completely new to this, so basically what i what i would like to know is where in linux can i access an application that allows be to use and practise telnet commands. I need this for my college work, at college we use telnet and login to a server where we are able to practise our telnet commands, however at home im unable to do that so they porvided us with a knoppix cd version 3.2 to practise commands on, however im not to sure how to use it and how it relates to telnet. Could someone please explain. I managed to boot it and all and get the OS displayed but i dunno where to go from there.

However Im also having another mager problem where my mouse doesnt work,,, the cursor just sits in the middle of the screen and the laser on the mouse is off, i even typed in the knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98 commands but that dint do nuthn, does nyone know what the prob may be? and also does it matter if your using serial or usb port coz im usn a usb port mouse. Withought the mouse working i cant much explore knoppix, can nyone help pleeeeease
