Sounds bad. Have you tried putting
(normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 1)
or
(normal-erase-is-backspace-mode -1)
in your .emacs? That might do what you want, or at least get you part way there.
Although I haven't tried, I suspect that I'm not going to have much luck getting an X session across their firewall AND mine. Is there some other way to do this?
If `normal-erase-is-backspace-mode' doesn't do everything you need, look at its code and see what you can do using the syntax for remappings given there (but in your global keymap).
