This means that your terminal and the system disagree on what character a backspace is.
What is your terminal?

SETHOST(1) General Commands Manual SETHOST(1)
NAME
sethost - Emulates a DEC VT100 terminal
SYNOPSIS
sethost [options] nodename
Options:
[-Vh] [-e char]
DESCRIPTION
sethost emulates a DEC VT100 terminal.
This application implements the CTERM protocol over DECnet for connecting to a remote DECnet host emulating a DEC VT100 terminal.
dnlogin is a replacement for sethost with more compatibility features.
OPTIONS
-e <char>
Set the exit character. By default this is ^]. You can specify the exit character as a control character by preceding it with a cir-
cumflex eg (^A means control-A) or as a number in decimal (default), octal (starting with a zero), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x or
0X).
-h -? Displays help for using the command.
-V Show the version of the package that sethost was built with.
EXAMPLES
Connect to remote VAX host named "mv3100".
sethost mv3100
HELPFUL HINTS
The CTERM specifications available from Digital does not include how to setup VMS terminal characteristics, so the host cannot identify the
capabilities of the session we are creating. The simplest workaround is to set the terminal capabilities manually upon login or including
the following command in the login.com DCL procedure.
$ SET TERM/DEC_CRT
