You can avoid the backspace's ^H problem if you are using a "telnet"
session or a "rlogin" session with a xterm window by pressing the CTRL
key on your keyboard and the left button of your mouse at the same time,
and then selecting the "Backarrow Key" option. This will enable the
backspace key for your telnet session.
I still haven't found the solution for the delete key, so I will let the
specialists help you :)
By the way, if you want to know which OS you are running, you can use the
uname -a command. You will find all the details on your OS.
ciao
