Is it possible to get 150 columns or more with telnet software
(Windows to Unix). Is so, what emulation, what software?

I have a 21-inch monitor and work with dbs a lot. Need a wide spread.

You can have any height or width you want as long as their product is
not greater than 8192.  You can also have both vertical and horizontal
scrolling within your session, with up to 2 million lines of scrollback.
Telnet, SSH, Rlogin, dialup -- all the same.

Please post the original URL, if possible:

 o  it's better to have the original URL instead of some
    arbitrary shorthand, because it has a higher
    recognition value

 o  Most people reading news already have a client enabling
    them to directly go to an URL. Who still has to enter the
    URL manually?

Many sites use ridiculous five-line URLs.  These often get seriously
munged by some news readers.

Agreed. But often the URLs only get long because of session
ids that can just be removed.

    But it is not easy to see at a glance what can be removed, and
    what is necessary.

    I prefer to post both the full URL and a shorthand URL; the best
    of both worlds.
