Unhappy Backspace Annoyance

Hi all,

I need some help with backspace and ssh to certain boxes/devices.

When I ssh to some machines and firewall appliances the backspace won't work. CTRL-h does but I already have stty erase ^H in my ~/.bashrc.

I'm using rxvt-unicode (urxvt)

Code:
[username@purplehaze (501) ~]$ cat .bashrc 
stty erase 
if test -t 0; then
PS1="[\u@\h (\!) \w]\$ "

  if [ "$TERM" == "xterm" -o "$TERM" == "rxvt" ]; then
    PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
  fi

  alias vi="vim"
  alias telnet="telnet -N"
	alias check_ssh="ssh -g -L18190:127.0.0.1:18190"

  source $HOME/.bash_completion

fi
Code:
[username@purplehaze (502) ~]$ cat .bash_completion 

##if [ "$PS1" ] && [[ $BASH_VERSION == 2.05* ]] ; then
if [ "$PS1" ]; then

	# A lot of the following one-liners were taken directly from the
	# completion examples provided with the bash 2.04 source distrib

	# Make directory commands see only directories
	complete -d cd mkdir rmdir pushd

	# Make file commands see only files
	complete -f cat less more ln strip vi vim rm ispell md5 wc
	complete -f -X '*.bz2' bzip2
	complete -f -X '!*.bz2' bunzip2
	complete -f -X '*.zip' zip
	complete -f -X '!*.zip' unzip
	complete -f -X '*.gz' gzip
	complete -f -X '*.Z' compress
	complete -f -X '!*.Z' uncompress
	shopt -s extglob
	complete -f -X '!*.+(Z|gz|tgz|Gz)' gunzip zcat zmore zgrep

	# kill sees only signals
	complete -A signal -P '-' kill killall

	# user commands see only users
	complete -u finger su usermod userdel passwd w id

	# bg completes with stopped jobs
	complete -A stopped -P '%' bg

	# other job commands
	complete -j -P '%' fg jobs disown

	# network commands complete with hostname
	HOSTFILE=$HOME/.bash_hosts
	complete -A hostname ssh telnet ftp ping fping host traceroute \
        	    nslookup nmap whois dnsq

	# export and others complete with shell variables
	complete -v export local readonly unset

	# set completes with set options
	complete -A setopt set

	# shopt completes with shopt options
	complete -A shopt shopt

	# helptopics
	complete -A helptopic help

	# unalias completes with aliases
	complete -a unalias
fi

Code:
[~]# bindkey | grep backward-delete-char
"^H"           ->  backward-delete-char
"^?"           ->  backward-delete-char
I know little about bash, so I can't really help you with that, but it seems the sequences ^H and ^? need to be binded to backspace...

Yes, I have been trying to do that by putting in stty erase "^H" and "^?" but I didn't realise that I might be able to bind them to both.
