There should be no problem for that. e.g. on our SUNs I do the
following to get a nice big window remotly:

I resize my terminal window, log in with kermit, and then when at the
shell prompt, I do the following:

% set term=vt100
% stty rows 66

where 66 happens to be the number of lines that I'm using. So you
would have to resize the terminal window to 43 lines and use 43
instead of 66. There might be some different commands on the WYSE, but
there should be no problem in principle.

The font size you can alter with the font panel in 2.0 and with the
dwrite command in 1.0 (if I remember correctly like that):

% dwrite Terminal NXFixedPitchFontSize nn

where nn is the point size.
