Window size (in the form of characters per line and lines on the screen) is information that the terminal-emulator client (or the actual terminal, but that's pretty much ancient history) passes on to the server. Since your client is running on Windows, this is really a Windows question, save for the Linux advice that you use a client that supports larger window sizes.So, how can I expand the window size of telnet session beyond the anaemic dimensions of 80x25?
As to Windows client selection ... I no longer do telnet sessions, but Putty communicates window resizing smoothly for ssh sessions (all I need to do is drag the window to a larger size), so it probably does the same for telnets. TerraTerm was clunkier in this respect (and many others), which is why I no longer use it. Beefore I switched to ssh, I did use a terminal app that also resized nicely for telnets, but I forget its name. No doubt a search of a Windows freeware/shareware archive like TUCOWS will turn up some other choices.
