I've been using the keypad in xterms under various flavors of Unix 
for years.  Where it becomes a problem is on Mac OS X as they ship 
with a crippled xterm (it doesn't support the -xrm flag).  Even on 
Mac OS X this can be worked around by modifying the .Xmodmap.

Give the following a try.  I believe there is also a version on at 
least one of the OpenVMS Freeware CD-ROM's.
