Subject:   remote [ssh] Backspace] key gives me "^?"
Message-ID:  <20070915010103.GA54302@thought.org>

	Sometimes when I ssh from a remote server and edit a file with
	vi, my [Backspace keys] are not interpretered correctly.  
	Instead of erasing characters and backing up one byte and
	clearing that character my cursor moves forward.

	Example: typing "This" as "thos" and backspacing to the 'o'
	I'll see "thos^?^?"    Can anybody 'splain what idiot thing i'm
	doing wrong and how to fix it?

	tia,

	gary
