(1) Is there any way to use EGA extended screen modes (i.e., 43/50
lines) in Procomm?  I believe that I have Procomm Plus 2.4.2 (?); at
any rate, whatever comes distributed with Practical Peripherals
modems.

(2) Telix does support 43/50 line screen modes, but has some other
"misfeatures".  First, I can't seem to write a script to automatically
log on to the local computer.  It requires a couple of carriage
returns to set the baud rate, but "cputc('^M')" and all the obvious
variations don't seem to hack it.  Second, I'd like to be able to
automatically dial an entry in the dialing directory when starting up.
The best I can do is automatically execute a script, but his means I
need two scripts for every number - one which includes the dial (so
that I can use it from the command line) and one which doesn't, so I
can link it to the entry in the dialing directory.

(3) Is there any communications package which will support >80
character lines under EGA?  I'd like something with 132 cols or so for
editing those heavily-indented Lisp files.
