You can do:
emacs -f server-start
and then:
emacsclient -t
on one or more terminal.

Disclaimer: I never understood all the details of
normal-erase-is-backspace (starting with the name).
I tested the function and it's effects seem to be correct, and it
applies only to the frame on the terminal where it is run from, it
does not affect the other terminal frames.
I don't know how to test the variable, I hope someone that knows how
it is supposed to work can do it.
