The 'stty erase ^H' fixed it. Why is '^?' the default erase and not this?

The default erase is not '^?', it's just displayed like that because the shell on the other side doesn't understand it. There are about as many different "standards" out there as there are combinations of shells and OSes, so it is fairly predictable that if you throw a new system in the mix you will have to modify some things on either the source or the target to get the same behaviour you were used to before.


It's also quite likely that some other things (which you may or may not use) now do not work as designed anymore because they actually expected the other code.
