1. What unix/distro are you guys using that have backspace=^H? I am
running on slackware and stty -a tells me backspace=^?
It's not a question of distribution. It's a question of emulation.

This is hard for me to understand, my stty -a shows this:
erase = ^?
I am total newbie with stty stuffs, do you mean that the "default" stty
settings are set by my Eterm/Xterm/Aterm/Konsole and not by the
distro/unix? How does that explains the inability for my escape to work
across "telnet localhost" then?
2. Is there any special reason why the default is --with-backspace=bs
and not --with-backspace=auto?
Because the Eterm terminfo entry specifies that backspace is ^H.
Sending anything else would conflict with what curses-based
applications were told to expect.
My stty -a shows erase = ^?, I compile Eterm with --with-backspace=del,
and my TERM=Eterm, my backspace keys still works correctly in
curses-based apps (vi and another custom curses app), I don't understand
what kind of conflict it might cause. If it can create conflict, does it
means that --with-backspace=del should not be used with TERM=Eterm at
all? Then why do we have the --with-backspace configure switch in the
first place?
p/s: I am a terminfo/Eterm/backspace-delete-mess newbie, so please
educate me. :)
