Does your keyboard generate those keycodes?
Use xev(1x) to find out.
Also, xmodmap is deprecated. It's probably better to use XKB for this
sort of thing.
I see a few XKB keyboard models that support these keysyms:
airkey
scorpius
brother
btc5113rf
btc9000
btc9000a
btc5090
cherryblue
cherrybluea
chicony
chicony9885
compaqik13
compaqik18
armada
presario
inspiron
...and so forth.
Just have a look at /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/inet.
I am assuming you're using the version of XFree86 in Debian sarge
("testing") or sid ("unstable"). The version in woody ("stable") is
considerably more limited.
