You imply that your users have PC's, using DOS/WINDOWS running terminal emulators accessing a UNIX system. Your issue, then, would be with the terminal emulator software you are using, since that is the program managing the keyboard maps. I know of a number of terminal emulators that dynamically remap PC keys. I use Reflection for windows and it will remap the ESC key to PF4, though I am sure there are others which will, too.

You can't remap using Oracle Terminal, since VT220 keys use combinations of ESC and other keys to generate the appropriate function key.
