Actually, I have my numlock key working with the following lines
from my Xdefaults file.  (You may have to run xmodmap to assign
Mod2 "shift" functionality to the numlock key as well, depending on
what your friendly server implementor defined as the default modifiers.

	% xmodmap -e 'add mod2=Num_Lock'

I have good access to the one at Stellar.)
