You can accomplish this in one of two ways:
   1) issue an appropriate stty on the SUN (man stty on the SUN for more
      info)
   2) upgrade to a newer VT100 and either issue "SWAP ON" in your
      vt100.init file or hit the SWAP menu selection in the Utilities
      menu.  SWAP will swap BS and DEL.
