See what your $TERM is set to.  I had this problem using PuTTY and
setting the $TERM to xterm-color.  All I had to do was set it to linux
and it worked just fine.

Hope that helps,
Samuel

(Sorry if you got this twice, I always hit r instead of f)

Please hit x, then each of these keys once, then M-x view-lossage
RET.  Now you should be able to see what Emacs sees when you hit
those keys.

In the shell, hit C-v, then one of the keys.  Repeat for all three
keys.  What do you see?

Also see the variable normal-erase-is-backspace and the function
normal-erase-is-backspace-mode.

Does this help?
