stty intr "^?" erase "^H"

And make darned sure you set your emulator to use ^H for backspace.

I used to take the standard ansi entry in fP's termcap, copy it fo
'fllinux', rip out the G*, then copy the G* entries from fP's vt100 entry
into the new entry, and use that.

I personally recommend PuTTY.  I use Anzio for SCO systems and dial-out on
serial modems, but prefer PuTTY's UI and configuration by far.  To be fair,
no, PuTTY is -not- as robust and well-rounded as Anzio--but it does what I
want for 99% of my terminal emulator situations far more elegantly by my
tastes.
