Annoyingly the Dell 5400 series switches do it on their console ports, too. Thankfully they don't once you're in via

So do the 55xx's, unfortunately. I'm not sure about the other PowerConnect series. The firmware largely varies in syntax 
from one model to the next but the 54xx and 55xx seem largely the same. If I get some spare time, I'll look into digging up some 
contacts from the PowerConnect team and suggest they fix the backspace console issue.

I didn't have the same problem with the 62xx (or the lone 52xx I used, for that matter) but then, it's all Broadcom software; it doesn't matter how competent/understanding the guys at Dell are, Broadcom won't lift a finger without a smoking gun.

I think of the three or four bugs that Dell passed through to Broadcom on my behalf (i.e. I'd had to convince at least one other person that it wasn't appropriate behaviour), only one was acknowledged and fixed.

With that in mind, I wouldn't waste your time!
