You connect to your Linux box thru PuTTY or Mac's Terminal application and numeric keypad doesn't work as you expected, entering meta key instead of the expected values (0,1,… ,+,-, …) ? Here is the solution…

create or edit if it already exists a .vimrc file in the user account and insert the following lines:
imap Oq 1
imap Or 2
imap Os 3
imap Ot 4
imap Ou 5
imap Ov 6
imap Ow 7
imap Ox 8
imap Oy 9
imap Op 0
imap On .
imap OR *
imap OQ /
imap Ol +
imap OS -
