    When trying to access my BBS from my Atari 800XL the terminal size is 24x40 but the BBS is not detecting that and keeps sending 80 columns. What would be the way to either set the default to 24x40 or automatically adapt?

    Do you have an Atari terminal progarm that supports ANSI? If so, it should enable the BBS to auto-detect the terminal dimensions.

    If the terminal doesn't support ANSI, there's also the Telnet "Negotiate window size" command that the terminal can send to the BBS and it will recognize the new terminal dimensions.

    If the terminal does not support ANSI or Telnet "Negotiate window size", then the user will have to set the terminal dimensions manually in their user settings ("D" command from the main menu of the default/classic command shell).
