Why not open a DECterm window on your linux screen?  You seem to be running
an X server.  So, use rsh or rexec to execute:

$ set display/create/transport=tcpip/node=yourip
$ create/terminal/detach

At any rate, my .Xdefaults contains:

XTerm*vt100.translations:       #override
    ~Ctrl~Meta<Btn2Down>:       start-extend()\n\
    ~Ctrl~Meta<Btn2Motion>:     select-extend()\n\
    ~Ctrl~Meta<Btn3Down>:       ignore()\n\
    ~Ctrl~Meta<Btn3Up>:         insert-selection(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
    ~Ctrl~Meta<BtnUp>:          select-end(PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
