Hello,
I'm running arch linux and want to set my screen size to 25x80 characters. It is currently maybe twice that size.

Using stty doesn't change the screen size, it just tells the terminal to
pretend that the screen size is different. The best way to make sure you
have the 80X25 screen is to pass "vga=normal" at boot time to the kernel.

I figured I could run this command to increase the rows beyond the 48 I have
now in FC9, however, that stty command only lets my loer it or won't let me go
beyond 48 by 128 columns.
Strangleyly enough in windows, useing 2 different telnet programs, I can go
much higher. Thanks in advance

Yes, it can't make your screen bigger than it is, just reduce the area
that is being used.

Telnet can however create a window that is bigger than what the screen
is, and only part of it will be displayed at a time on the real screen.

That can be just enough in a lot of cases.

It won't work with newer kernels which enable video kernel-mode settings
at boottime.
