This is the case with most emulators. It's a limitation of terminfo, see man terminfo for more details.

Re: Problem with the keypad of the keyboard

You'd have to code a new terminfo entry that included they numeric keypad. The man page for terminfo has the information on how to do this, but it's not trivial, which is why this is still a problem.
