You can fix this on Windows 95, as well. The trick is to drag an icon to the desktop, and ensure that the program starts in a maximized window, by modifying the icon properties. If you use the icon to start telnet thereafter, the screen will be brought up without the annoying (and unnecessary for the display area size) scrollbars. I have always used "xterm" as my terminal type for the thing; I find it performs better than the VT220.
