ZCOMM and Professional-YAM read the number of lines and columns from
the BIOS when they start up.  If your VGA board can be set to
60 lines, ZCOMM and Pro-YAM can use it.  They also can switch to 132
columns for VT1/2xx emulation provided the VGA's BIOS supports such a mode.

Also available is RBCOMM (by Ralf Brown) which is distributed as FREEWARE.
This comm program adapts to any screen size, and supports VT1xx emulation,
including switching to 132 columns.  At the price, one really cannot go wrong.

Full featured macro language, compiler, dialing directories, DESQVIEW support,
and seamless integration with DSZ if it ever becomes necessary to perform
bulk file transfers to/from *NIX.  DSZ is SHAREWARE from the same guy who
suggested ZCOMM/YAM.  (DSZ == ZMODEM/XMODEM/YMODEM).
