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.
