OK, my machine.

Wait a minute - your xterm doesn't set stty erase to '^H' !?

The same scenario works for me. It didn't without stty erase on the
remote side. I'm using both xterms - from XFree86 and X11.org.

I'm wondering if Debian is not trying to fix the world. For now we know:

		PLD	Debian	RH/FC	others...	ideal

xterm		^H	^?				^H or ^?
generates

kbs for		^H	^H	^H			^H or ^?
xterm-color

stty after	not	propagated			propagated
remote login	set


In Debian backspace bindings doesn't work unless terminal is specified
as xterm-debian.
