Thank you, Mario! At the bottom of this message, I'll point out what I ended up doing.

And with a bit of stty magic, you get > exactly 88, which is very nice for a Modular Evolution user :-) As I have a 40 character display connected, I put the command 'fbset -yres 400 -xres 640' in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. However, then only the root user got the right 80x25 terminal. So I subscribed my regular user to the video group and put the command above also in .bashrc for that user. It works and I'm happy.
