When I dial in from home with my 800XL and chameleon I have noticed 
something peculiar with the backspace key.  When I have the shell prompt
(I guess that's what you call it) the backspace key causes a control H
(^H) to be printed to the screen.  When I am in vi, the backspace key
actually backspaces.


 




Try setting Chameleon to RUBOUT instead of ^H.

Also you might considering setting your term type to vt52xl and use
the following .termcap


'atari|atari|Chameleon VT-52xl:so=\EF:se=\EG:al=\EN:dl=\EO:im:em:ic=\EL:dm:ed:dc=\EM:bs:cd=\EJ:ce=\EK:cl=\EH\EJ:cm=\EY%+ %+ :co#80:li#24:nd=\EC:pt:sr=\EI:up=\EA:ku=\EA:kd=\EB:kr=\EC:kl=\ED:';
