Console backspace

It seems to me that when using the USB-Blaster as a console, the back space does not "erase" the previous character. It generates the cntrl-H (^H), but linux still complains after the correction.

For example - in root directory:

when I type (^H is back space):

# ls bis^Hn

I get:

bin: No such file or directory

It seems like the backspace corrects the word in error, but also blows away the first word.

I&#39;m new to this Linux stuff, so can anyone help out? A new console device would be great. Hopefully, I don&#39;t have to live with this http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif
