Problems with term on SCO

[Bill Warner <wwarner@direct-alliance.com>]

  I have been trying to get a working term setup to telnet
into
  a SCO server.  I have tried to use gnome-terminal and
xterm
  with this same result.  I am now running Woody with
Helix-gnome

  backspace sends a ^?
  delete changes the previous letter's case [a,A]
  arrow keys sent [A, [B, [C, [D

  I can use <ctrl><H> for backspace and it
  works.  If I am just using it as an xterm it works
  fine.  It only happens when I log into the SCO server
  with Debian.  RedHat and Windows Telnet.exe work
  fine while logged into SCO.

  I am not sure of any other key stroke problems
  but these are the ones I use often.  I also know that
  on RedHat 6.x and Helix-gnome this problem
  does not exist.

  I installed Potato and had this problem and upgraded
  to Woody and still have this same problem.  Only possible
thing
  I have noticed that seemed possibly odd is in the X server

  startup log there is a non-fatal error:

  System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1
-R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m
  us_microsoft -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp)
reports:" -emp "> " -eml
  "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server"
keymap/xfree86
  compiled/xfree86.xkm'

  Any clue on what this could be and how to fix it.
