Both JRComm and Handshake will send the VM/CMS clear (actually a VT102
ENTER key) you need.  The only thing that is required it that the
keypad be set to application mode (as opposed to numeric), which the
host VM system should send to the terminal when it starts.  If it
doesn't, let me know and I'll tell you how to go into local mode
on handshake and type an escape sequence to force it on.  If all
else fails, ESC . (esc-period) seems to work fairly well.  Haven't
got an answer for the reset key, but I don't think you'll need it.
The IBM3270 on my desk has one, but if I log into the same account
with Handshake it is never needed.   I believe the terminal lockout
(and thus the need to reset it) is not supported by Handshake, since
after all, it's VT102 emulation, not IBM3270.
 
In case I forgot to mention it in that tirade, the CLEAR key is
your numeric keypad enter key....
