I rather doubt that any of the UNIX variants you listed really would
default to use of ASCII DEL for the "erase" character, as long-standing
UNIX convention is to use DEL as the interrupt key.  Normal UNIX systems
have some initial terminal characteristics file that can be configured
to determine what the terminal handler is set to when a login occurs.
Check your System Administrator documentation to find out how to use this.
