OK, good to know. I'll have to do some more experiments.

With both KEAterm and eXceed, and using the PS/2 connection, I'm able
to map the otherwise "unrecognized" keys to their "proper" LK4xx
key or keysym. I was looking over my co-worker's shoulder when he
tried, and failed, with the USB connection directly into his laptop.
I'll try again on my own and report what I find.
