How do I set the login script so that telnet to a solaris2 from an
xterm with variable # of rows can set the terminal settings with the
right # of rows?

Currently TERM=xterm is passed correctly, but # of rows is not
correct (I think it defaults to 65) even though I use 35 lines,
for example.

I've used eval `tset ... $TERM` with no avail. Any argument
that I have to pass to stty? Currently I manually do stty rows nn.

The problem still occurs when running local xterm from OpenWindows
from a command shell window: vi/more have problem with the right # of
rows to scroll.

telnet is not able to set the size of the tty you are using.

Use rlogin instead. Rlogin has a method to submit the terminal type and size
to the remote host.

I have put 'eval `/usr/openwin/bin/resize -c`' in .login.
