DOSEMU keyboard problem

I fixed the performance issue - there was a leftover .dosemurc in users 
home directories, which included the '$_cpu_emu = "full"'.

But I now have a new problem regarding keyboard. I'm using Netterm 
telnet client, because it has excelent custom keyboard and character 
mapping abilities and it supports pass-through printing. I need mapping 
because the application is using an old, outdated and non-standard 
YUSCII encoding (check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUSCII for more info).

On new DOSEMU there is a problem - when I press one of the 'home', 
'end', 'page up', 'page down' or 'insert' keys, DOSEMU seems to 'hang' - 
but not completely. It still accepts CTRL-C and 'space' - but nothing 
else. This only happens if I use Netterm in conjunction with new DOSEMU. 
It works if I use Putty and it also works with  Netterm and old DOSEMU 
(where the connection settings are exactly the same).

I used 'showkey' to check what Netterm actually sends for those keys::

HOME - ^[[1~
END - ^[[4~
PAGE UP - ^[[5~
PAGE DOWN - ^[[6~
INSERT - ^[[2~

These codes are the same that Putty sends and these keys work both in 
Linux (old and new server) and old DOSEMU...

I tried changing '$_layout', but that didn't change anything.

Any ideas?
