I've found that I need to do a bit more then this because I use
emacs.

.Xmodmap
keycode 22      = BackSpace
keycode 107     = Delete

.Xresources
! Make VT100 Backspace send ^?, and Meta<Key>Backspace send ^[^?.
*VT100.Translations: #override ~Meta<Key>BackSpace: string(0x7F)\n\
			     Meta<Key>BackSpace: string(0x1B) string(0x7F)\n\

XTerm*eightBitInput:           False
XTerm*eightBitOutput:          True


.emacs
;;; Add a DELETE key if possible.
(define-key function-key-map [delete] nil)
(global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char)
