:I was wondering if any out there knows of a good terminal emulator, preferably
:public domain, for the Unix system.  I have an IBM compatible with a VGA
:display board.  I would like to use the cards ability to display more than 25
:lines on a screen but haven't found any such communication package.

ZCOMM will read the number of lines and columns being displayed when it
starts up or regaind control after a shell escape.  This allows a wide
variety of screen "sizes" to be supported.

If the EGA/VGA video bios supports a function to switch to 132 columns,
ZCOMM can be set to use this call to switch between 80 and 132 colums
using the ANSI escape sequences.
