Currently logged into Eisner using a xterm on Linux with a custom
keyboard mapping script I picked up from comp.os.vms about a decade ago.
EVE works just fine in this setup (I'm typing this response using it)
although the keyboard is always in application keypad mode with this
script.

I also use PuTTY on Linux which works ok apart from a really annoying
issue where PF1 through PF4 doesn't work in the keyboard mapping I
selected (the PC keyboard friendly layout instead of the strict DEC
keyboard mode) unless the keypad is in application keypad mode.

On Windows PCs, I've installed Teraterm which works ok apart from not
been able to get it to do double height/double width characters.

Simon.
