You have to tell the computer what code your backspace key delivers.
This is true on any platform that doesn't correctly guess, and it's
true for any program that reads standard input (for example, "cat".)
You use "stty" to tell it. I have the following in my .cshrc:
if ( "$hosttype" == "rsaix" ) stty erase "^?"
if ( "$hosttype" == "sun4" ) stty erase "^?"
if ( "$hosttype" == "linux" ) stty erase "^H"
Hope this helps.
