No, No, No, NO, NO!  its your ANSI.SYS driver that insists on scrolling at
the 25th line.  I replaced mine with NANSI.SYS (and then NNANSI.SYS) and
80x43 works right on my EGA (as does 132x44).  The BIOS contains (if its
100% compatible) all the right screen information to correctly scroll your
screen in segment 40.  It's the software that ASSUMES your text mode is 80x25
that is usally the problem.
