You can use stty with socket connections as well for many settings (e.g. erase, kill, intr). I have this in my ~/XTerm file to set what I consider sane values when making xterm connections: XTerm*ttyModes: intr ^C erase ^H kill ^U These can also be set at the command line with: stty intr '^C' erase '^H' kill '^U' To see what the settings are ``stty -a''.
