Telix 3.12 has support for 43- or 50-line screen modes.

There's a catch, unfortunately.  Version 3.12 has a bug that messes up
Telix's character translation table if you do certain screen control
sequence combinations.

I reported this bug to the author of Telix a few months ago -- and
since I'm a registered 3.12 user, he gave me a new version with this
bug fixed.  But the shareware version 3.12 still has the bug and won't
work properly with more than 25 lines on the screen.

I don't know when the author plans to release a new shareware version
with this fix.  I suppose if enough people called or wrote him and said
they'd like to use Telix but can't use 3.12 because they need bug-free
43- or 50-line support, it might speed matters up somewhat.
