Okay, here's what you need to do on both ends of the connection.
PC--make sure you've got either an EGA card (for 43 line mode) or a VGA
card (for 50 line mode). Some cards support some funky things like
60 lines under some Super-VGA setting or another.
make sure you load an ANSI driver like ansi.sys or nnansi.sys
issue the following mode command `mode con: lines=50'.
start kermit.
UNIX-connect to host.
issue an eval `tset -sQI <your-term-emulation>` command to set the
TERM and TERMCAP environment variables. For example eval `tset
-sQI vt220` evaluates and sets the variables for vt220 term. Make
sure that you put in the ``I'' argument. If you don't, then
you'll see your screen cut in half and only the first 25 lines
being drawn on. If this happens, then you'll have to go to the
kermit command line and do a `ru mode con: lines=50' command to
reset your local terminal.
Issue the `stty rows 49' command to set the number of rows (or
`stty rows 50' if you don't use the status line at the bottom of
the screen), followed by a `reset' command.
That should do it. I don't know how to do this if you're connecting to
other types of host. I think that for IBM's it doesn't make a
difference if they're in fullscreen mode, then they'll use all of the
available lines. As for other types of hosts, your mileage may vary.
