}   I think I remember someone saying that Procomm supported this, but

No, Procomm doesn't; this is one of the very few failings of Procomm.

Are there machines that don't know how to deal with larger screens?
With the exception of an aging IBM4381-Q14, all the machines (that I use)
here at Lehigh will support >24X80.  Even most BBS systems can be set to
any size terminal.
