Well, I have same problem when telnetting in and out, people telnetting in
hit backspace and it displays ^H, when I am telnetting out and hit backspace,
it displays ^?... Backspace always displays ^? when I am running telnet
regardless of whether or not I am actually telneting... also it displays
^? regardless of whether or not I have set telnet erase to ^H or if I type
stty erase "^H" I looked at termcap but it is a huge file and I have no
clue how to decifer it... is it documented anywhere, which entry do I need to
modify, or if I need to add one, what should I call it???
