subject: dosemu 25 line error

Good morning,
When I access my board via telnet using syncterm & other programs, I get
the following error whenever attempting to open anything that runs under
dosemu:

Note that DOS needs 25 lines. You might want to enlarge your
window before continuing.

I get this when trying to open dosemu from mystic or even when telneting
directly to a dosemu occurance called from a telnetd script.

I searched the net and found some information but none of it addressed the
issues one runs into when trying to run a BBS.  :)  I did try some of the
advice I found, like using an stty command in the script before calling dosemu,
and trying to change my conf file, but could not get rid of the message.

I might be able to change my syncterm settings, but that only fixes it for
me and not my users.  :)

As I know a lot of BBS folks run dos doors under dosemu, I am pretty sure I am
not the first one to encounter this.  

Thanks!
Mike
