I'm pretty annoyed by the fact that FBSD is mapping my backspace key to ^H,
and everything wants to see ^?. I need to do a stty erase ^H to fix this,
but if I use kermit to connect anywhere, it stops working. Same as when I
su to root.
Is there any way to make the backspace key be ^? instead of ^H?
