Setting Command line to 80 x 25 ascii mode

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Hello all


I am using kde on fedora 15. I need to setup a couple of login terminals
on Alt-F2/F3 to 80x25 ascii resolution (of the dos/cga days). Have
researched a lot but can't seem to find a short & simple answer.


Please point out links for changing display mode on the fly and
permanent changes.


With best regards.
Sanjay.

I have used konsole to connect to a SCO unix machine and have been able
to change the size of the window by controlling the environment
variables in the remote machine. 

The only way I have found to do this is to set the environment variables
while using xterm as the terminal emulator on the remote machine. 

LINES=25
COLUMNS=80

You have to set the variables before you start the next process or new
process.  

Good Luck
