Backspace in old school vi

@cokedude
It's been awhile since I dealt with Solaris,
But if memory serves... One of the available term types was dtterm.
Try TERM=dtterm and run vi then.
And yes @Azhrei is correct backspace isn't configured what the emulator is I expecting: ^? vs ^H
You can reset it with man stty specified options. Google should help as well...
