your ssh client is buggered. there's some way
to tell it to send ^h when you type backspace, but
i don't remember what it is.
backspace is ^h. end of story. this is non-negotiable.
as for the display update, your linux window probably wants
us to echo ^h, space, ^h every time you type ^h, to
clear the cell. i'd argue this is a client problem too.
plan 9 is somewhat inflexible when it comes to what
would typically be called terminal settings. that's part
of its charm.
