>Description:
In the default keymap for the kde2 konsole, Backspace is
mapped to 0x7f instead of 0x08. This seems to be the way in several
linux distributions, but for FreeBSD this breaks some programms like
ircII where backspace is not working anymore.

In a xterm in kde2 you see for 'stty -a' : erase = ^H;
In the kde2 konsole you'll see erase = ^?;

Change the backspace to 0x08 did solve the problem for my installations
and ircII (from the ports) and EpicIV are now working again.
