Shaya, Try adding: (global-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char) to your .emacs file on the Solaris side. I think that will take care of your problem. Maybe you'll run into other keys that don't get mapped the same, but you can easily configure that in the .emacs file. I'm not sure how to make your keymappings only be modified, for example, when you are logged in remotely using telnet, however (although I'm sure it is possible to figure something out).

I haven't investigated it (as I don't telnet into solaris boxes often) but its something I've noticed. shaya -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
