If you type "stty rows 22" (or whatever the number of lines is) before
starting Emacs, it should adjust properly.
You might want to consider using Telnet in transparent mode instead of
Supdup, to make use of all 24 lines of the screen. I have a character
macro on SAIL that I use for this. After doing "telnet go4" and
getting a shell prompt, I run the character macro, which does:
source .dmwaits<return> <meta>t
The <meta>t is at the end because SAIL doesn't seem to read the rest
of the macro if it is earlier. My file .dmwaits on Gang-of-Four does:
set term=dmwaits
stty 2400
echo -n '↑]↑↑'
The characters in quotes make it enter roll mode and clear the screen.
I'm representing them here by ↑-combinations, but to actually get them
in the file with Emacs, one types <ctrl>Q <ctrl>] <ctrl>Q <ctrl>↑.
