 When the 2.0 console is activated, it will internally map the terminal
 configured backspace character into backspace, according to Unix rules.
 
 If you send escape sequences manually, you will get the wrong behavior.

+I compiled the source code with VS2005 and ran the resulting .exe on
+Mono. So it should be using the 2.0 API.
+
+On FC5 64bit gnome-terminal, the backspace key produced ctrl-?. Mono
+shows the same behavior when either the backspace that produced ctrl-?
+or ctrl-? is pressed.
+
+I only manually typed in the escape sequences for an easier repro. If
+you try to repro it and hit backspace, I'm not sure whether your
+terminal produces ctrl-H or ctrl-?.
+
+On MS .net, it interprets ctrl-H as backspace, but not ctrl-?. So if
+you want to be binary compatible, the ctrl-H escape sequence should
+work in Mono.
