Yep I found it. I tested to do a telnet from a RedHat 7.3 installation
running Gnome, and when I press backspace the character 0x7f (delete) is
sent instead of 0x08 (backspace). It is possible to alter this by using
xmodmap, but I don't recommend it since other programs will start to
behave strangely. If you would like to do a backspace, try Ctrl-H, which
will send the 0x08 character.

Anyway, I will alter the telnet server on the SNAP so a 0x7f character
(delete) will act as a backspace (since the delete character doesn't have
any meaning anyway).

	Regards.
