I would do it at the shell, perhaps at login via .files (profile,
bashrc, tshrc, all depends how you have things setup), from the command
line it should be:
     stty erase <your backspace/delete key>
it wouldn't be a bad idea to look through the man page.
alternatively you might be able to fix the terminal type that's being
detected (the TERM environment variable) or hard set it to something
that will work (I tend to use the vt100, it seems pretty close to
universal, xterm is also often workable) or you could change the type of
terminal on your originating machine which is difficult to guess from
this info.
