Motorola CLIQ ALT keybindings incorrect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ssh into any system
2. attempt to enter any character accessed via the ALT key (numbers and symbols)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: The symbol on the key is what is sent to the server.

observed: Incorrect symbols appearing for all key combinations. (such as * 
instead of 1, which is accessed via ALT+Q)

Note that this only occurs when interacting with the server once logged in.  
Characters accessed via the ALT key when entering my password into ConnectBot's 
prompt are correct.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

1.7.0

What type of system are you trying to connect to?

REHL5 (I am able to connect successfully)

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

echo $TERM (took me a while to find where $ was mapped) is "vt100"

uname -a results in "Linux <hostname> 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:41:38 
EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

Please provide any additional information below.

I recently upgraded my phone's OS and reinstalled ConnectBot.  Previous 
versions worked fine.  I'd suspect my OS upgrade, but the keys work in all 
other programs, and even in ConnectBot when entering my password prior to 
connecting (just not in the terminal once connected).

Same problem here. Upgraded to the new official 2.1 on my cliq, installed 
connectbot and alt keys are scrambled. It appears it is trying to use a keymap 
for a hardware keyboard that has a traditional number pad arrangement on the 
alt keys.

I have the same issue on Cliq after 2.1 upgrade yesterday.  I have to use the 
on screen keyboard now.

I just submitted a change that should fix this problem. Download the latest 
version from http://connectbot.org/ and let me know if it works.
