[SunHELP] stty erase

[zarif]

Hi guys,  it's an old problem but I could find anything in the FAQ.
Here it is.

I used to login from my IRIX box to Sun server (Solaris 7) and had
    stty erase ^H
line in the .profile.
Now I have a couple of guys sharing the same account with me.  They have to
login to the box, but they are on Linux stations and they have to type
    stty erase ^?

Is there any way to determine a type of a machine I'm coming from (to put
some "if - else" statement into .profile)?
Or is there better solution?

thanks in advance,
zarif
