OS X, Terminal and alt key problems

Today was my first day with OS X. When I finally tried ssh from it, I noticed the backspace didn't work, Scandinavian letters produced a mess, backspace just didn't work and either did alt. An irssi hell, I tell you.

Following steps offered a cure. Terminal-->Window Settings... then from drop menu Keyboard and check Delete key sends backspace and Use option key as a meta key. Then choose Emulation from the dropdown menu and uncheck Escape non-ASCII characters. After that is just works.
