I don't experience the same problem, but nevertheless, here's what David
Alverson has to say about it:

"There is a problem in v0.8, especially if you connect to Unix or VAX
machines.  I made a received backspace destructive, but on a vt100 it shouldn't
be.  You can remove this "feature" with a disk editor like FEdit.  Go to
offset 10BEE and change 4EBA 0004 to 4E71 4E71."
