I currently use Procomm Plus, but would like to have a terminal
emulator that can take advantage of a large screen (16", 1024x768).

I called Datastorm (maker of Procomm Plus) and asked about this
and about some other stuff.  The short answer is "no".  Does anyone
know of a terminal emulator that can handle, say 50 lines?

The said (long answer):

 1. They had a wish list, a list of features that might be in a future
    release of pcplus.

 2. A large-screen emulator is on the wish list.

 3. They don't know when the next version of pcplus will come out or
    what from the wish list it will have.

 4. They didn't know whether another comm package provided large terminal
    emulators.

I also suggested (tangential to the question above):

  1. They allow a much larger scroll buffer.  Currently it is about 10
     pages.

  2. They have a extension language, like emacs' mock lisp, or 
     Epsilon's eel.

  3. They speed up PageUp/PageDown when examining the scroll buffer.

They said "duly noted."

Thanks for any help that you can render.
