backspace in vi is ^? in FC3

[Peter Smith]

Has this been solved yet?  All my FC3 systems have this problem.  
However, I think it might be more of a client-side issue rather than a 
server-side issue.  I'm using Konsole and it works fine if I create a 
new "Session/New Linux Console", then SSH into another FC3 box.
