I have a weird problem with my keyboard, but I'm not sure what to check to figure out the problem.
I have a desktop system, and the keyboard works as expected in X and in the console. However when I ssh into my gateway box, the keyboards works fine in the commandline, but when I run a command like say nslookup, my backspace key stops working. Both systems are debian 2.2 stable. The keypad problem also occurs when I ssh to my boxes at home (telnet does the same BTW) from my sunbox at work. I don't know much about terminal emulation, keymaps, and bindings, etc so what can I read to try to troubleshoot this? I have a typical i386 style keyboard with microsoft keys at home, and a type 5c sun keyboard at work. Thanks.
