Re: backspace does not work
If you can determine what character is being sent to the host when you press backspace, try entering the following into your .profile and log out and in:
stty erase "^H"
(in my case, my backspace sends control-H)
Try man stty for more info.

Re: backspace does not work
Make sure your telnet session matches. vt100 is usually a safe bet.

Re: backspace does not work
Can you check your stty settings for erase as follows.
#stty | grep erase
If it is not set for backspace then you can set it for your environment as follows.
#stty erase

Re: backspace does not work
I get the backspace key working this way...
I type "stty erase "
I press control and v at the same time.
I press what I "decree" to be the backspace key.
I hit the enter key.
There. It's fixed on whatever thingy you were using to connect to HP.

Re: backspace does not work
$stty erase
You can make any character as erase; such as
$stty erase k
The backspace work only when you press k. I have given just example.
You can look detail what characters and function assigned by just
$stty -a
Thanks
