- Currently I am running ISC 3.0 on a 486 PC.
-
- I am trying to configure the numeric keypad to emulate a DEC VT100 aux keypad.
- What I am finding is that the NUM LOCK key not only delievers half of a
- key press (push but no release), but, changes the mode of the numeric keyboard
- IN THE KEYBOARD! Am I correct is this observation?
-
- Is there a way to disable this? If not is there a work around? If not is
- there a producer of keyboards that have the sense NOT to implement this
- brain dead standard?
