You need to put 

stty intr \^? 

somewhere in your /etc/profile chain (usually /etc/profile.local), and
if you want the console to work properly, there are two files you have
to change for that. 

One of them is in /usr/lib/kbd (unless they've moved it); it's the
mapping file that determined what ascii code the physical keys send
when you hit them, and the other is the similar keymapping file for X;
you need to modify both so the BackSpace key sends ^H instead of DEL.

If that's not enough hint, let me know and I'll go dig up the
specifics; we've only got one or two sites we bothered with.
