The "eval `resize`" works in any environment, not just for X.  For logins 
on a GraphOn-250 with 25 screen lines I have added "export LINES=25" in my
profile (I use ksh).  This command can, of course, be executed at any time for
any value of LINES.  The same goes for COLUMNS.

The above works for HP-UX and probably for Sys V.  I am not sure whether
BSD supports LINES and COLUMNS.
