Is that a brand or a type of keyboard?
What's special about it?

Hi Chip,Just in case you might be interested, I have a full keyboard that
plugs into a USB port on my Dell Inspire 1100. It works just like using my
desktop keyboard. My only complaint is that is extra bulk when taking a
trip with my laptop.

I think you'll need to use jaws set to desktop keyboard for this even to
work (that is, the insert key being the jaws key).
I'd guess though that's not what's causing your jaws or your laptop to
crash. Some of the external numeric keypads don't support multi-key
combinations (that is, 2 keys pressed together at once).
If setting jaws back to desktop layout doesn't solve your issue, then I'd
guess you were unlucky enough to get one of these numeric pads that don't
support modifier keys.
You could try and contact the manufacturer to ask if this guess is correct.
I'm using jaws at home on a laptop with a usb keypad, so I know it can be
done (and I have my jaws keyboard set to desktop). Unfortunately, you can't
buy the brand of keypad I'm using, but perhaps others here can recommend
specific external usb keypads if this turns out to be the problem.
