I may have been a little unclear about the problem. I have a Linux box and FreeBSD box side by side. Lets remove X from the picture, assume I am logging in to the console on both systems. If I login to the console on Linux everything works fine and I need not to adjust the 'stty erase' parameters to use backspace in vim. If I login to the FreeBSD console and run vim everything works fine. However if I login to the FreeBSD console and telnet to the Linux box and run vim backspace does not work unless I adjust stty settings. I don't believe the `uname` solution works in this situation because on Linux it will always return Linux. What I need to be able to do is detect that I am logging into Linux from FreeBSD in order to setup 'stty erase' correctly. Does this sound right? Once again, thanks for the input..
