Terminals are assumed to be 80x24 under Linux unless:
1) The virtual terminal driver/terminal driver provides a method to retrieve
   the size of the terminal.  Xterm does this, the Linux console does this.
   Unfortunately, there's no way via a serial terminal driver to do this.
2) The termcap/terminfo entry specifies a different number of lines.

So, you are basically looking to add info about the terminal being 25 lines
to the termcap.
