Assuming you are using PC keyboards with all the normal keys on
them, you could try using PuTTY as it has a couple of keyboard
layout options when working with either VMS systems or editors
with a EDT keypad option.
The only keypad key I don't have available when using an editor
in EDT keyboard mode is "delete word" which I never used anyway.
