Backspace key on AIX thru Linux

[Ishaaq K Chandy]

 Hi all, 
We have an AIX server at work. Additionaly I have a Linux box, all
the others are windows boxes. The backspace key on the Linux
machine works fine normally but ceases to be recongnised when I
telnet to the AIX machine. Any ideas?

However AIX recognises the backspace keys on the windows machines.

I have set my TERM=vt100 as AIX does'nt recognise TERM=linux.

Thanks in advance,
