[nos-bbs] jnos and conspy

[maiko at pcsinternet.ca]

If I resize my window to whatever size I want (I run JNOS in an xterm on 
a
vncsession, not on a tty, but regardless ? JNOS seems to inherit the 
screen
size of what it is running in. So is there a way to configure your VM 
console
with a smaller monitor. I don't use proxmox so I don't know off top of 
my head.

The 'r' and 'c' options seem non functional in linux version. I've never
used them, so that's why I am surprised by this. I will look around 
more,
but that's what I have observed so far.
