I remember from your prev message (correct me if it isn't right) that you have
Delete key above Backspace key. I mean _another_ Delete, under Insert key.
Did them produce different keycodes for you or just the same?
BTW, yet one argument for Backspace==^H: all modems require ^H
to edit command line, some of them have it like programmable char,
but some of them not, so 0x7F becomes real pain for all dialout users.
