No, I don't think you understood what the page says.  "The Backspace key 
(on most keyboards) generates ASCII code 8. C-h sends the same code" 
So, whether you say Backspace sends C-h or C-h sends Backspace, you are 
saying the same thing.

This group can only answer questions about Emacs.

Whether it is possible or not is a question for your keyboard and 
terminal emulator you might be using.  The web page gave instructions 
for Unix terminal emulators to make Backspace send C-?.  Whether it 
works for your terminal emulator or what else works for it, is open. 
You may not get an answer to that question in this forum.
