Yes.  All you need to do is at the command line say: -l 43
For example:

    tn3270 -l 43 hostname

As a matter of fact, I'm attached to my host via an AT with a VGA monitor.  So
I specify -l 50 and get 50 lines on the screen (just great for reading 80% of
the articles :-)).  Additionally, I've created a termcap entry for ega43 and 
vga50 on my host machine that sets up the term properly. (Actually, these 
termcap entries are just copies of vt102's with the li#24 entry changed to 
li#43 and li#50 respectively.)  I had to make the number of lines on the 
screen to 42 and 49 respectively because of the status line at the bottom 
of the screen.

Hope this helps.
