Is there a way inside of emacs to change the number of lines emacs believes
is on the screen?

A quick perusal of the source shows that emacs checks for screen size via the 
signal() and ioctl()s.  I frequently login to work from  home via 
a Mac running NCSA telnet.  I can and do display 32 lines on the screen and 
emacs refuses to acknowledge this.  I also note that the LINES shell variable
is ignored.

Please respond via e-mail.
