I use a C64 with a vt100 emulator on our UNIX machine all the time.  There
are two ways to do it, either check comp.sys.cbm and see if you can get
either of the two vt100 emulators that are being talked about there (one
is Kermit, the other I do not know the name of). Or, you can get a copy of
VIP Terminal and write a terminfo or termcap (depending on which version
of UNIX you run) that eliminates the need for a vt100 emulator.  All of the
mentioned programs will give you 80X24 lines.  In addition, Kermit gives
you Kermit protocol which you may or may not find you need.

Good luck
