You haven't stated precisely what your problem is.
On experimenting, I find (with a Debian potato server) that checking
"Disable application keypad mode" in PuTTY (on the Features panel)
allows me to use the keypad in mc in both cursor-keys-etc and numeric
mode, switching with Num Lock. Without this, Num Lock acts as a function
key (causing help to be invoked as if F1 were typed), so only the
cursor-keys mode is accessible. It's possible that this may break other
apps though -- try it and see.
