One quick way is to create a .exrc file in their home directory. Put lines
like:
map! ^[Oq 1
map! ^[Or 2
map! ^[Os 3
etc in it. The way to get this is to
vi .exrc
<NumLock>
i
map! <CTRL-V>1 1<ENTER>
map! <CTRL-V>2 2<ENTER>
map! <CTRL-V>3 3<ENTER>
and so on. The string "map!" says to map the following sequence, which will
be the string "<ESC>1", to the the next sequence, which will be the string
"1". The exclamation point means "do this mapping in insert mode."
