RE: Backspace is delete
Shaya,
Try adding:
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char)
to your .emacs file on the Solaris side. I think that will take care of
your problem. Maybe you'll run into other keys that don't get mapped the
same, but you can easily configure that in the .emacs file. I'm not sure
how to make your keymappings only be modified, for example, when you are
logged in remotely using telnet, however (although I'm sure it is possible
to figure something out).

at least for me on sid, emacs is unusable if I telnet into a solaris
box, b/c everytime I hit backspace I get ctrl-h which to them is help.
I haven't investigated it (as I don't telnet into solaris boxes often)
but its something I've noticed.
