Why?  This might be handy for talking to hosts that expect teletypes (real or
glass), but full-screen hosts expect say, a VT-100, to have 24 display lines
and so will never make use of the extra 18--you'll just have to squint to
read the tiny characters.  Seriously, developing device-independent 
communications displays (XWindows, or distributed applications) is a much
more sensible step than kludging more lines onto an imitation of 15-year-old
technology.

I've seen this on a PC, once.  I think you have to do nasty things to the
registers on the video card, and even then I'm not sure that you can smoothly
scroll *part* of the screen.  Again, this looks like a feature where mucho
time and effort yields negligible payoff....
