I've made a small program that just changes the number of scan-lines used
per character in a text mode. Using this you can get up to 100 rows in a
window (and you can change it while windowed, at least on most machines). If
you then set the font to something reasonable, you can get ~50-70 lines of a
scroll-back buffer. Some programs don't like it, some do.
