There's an awesome little program called "resize". It outputs and reads escape sequences to query the terminal for its size, then it reconfigures the TTY to use the size reported by the terminal. Super useful for cases where resizing isn't communicated out-of-band, such as serial consoles. Every embedded Linux system should have this.

BUT IT'S PART OF THE XTERM PACKAGE! MOST EMBEDDED SYSTEMS HAVE NO NEED FOR XTERM OR EVEN X! AAAA
