  I think the difference is the inverted data stream from "Down Under" .
  I have no clue how to invert the bits, so that I might do this.

  Hi George, you said:

> <backspace> and <left arrow> were also useless.

I used the command line (MSDOS Command Prompt) Telnet command, and the 
backspace in that worked fine, albeit with a seemingly slow response. 
Remember it needs to do backspace - space - backspace. Could just have been 
my slow (Shaped) connection, too.
