What resolution are you running at?  Physically, how wide and high are
those DOS windows on your screen?

My 14" laptop is 1440x1050, and that makes each DOS window a little
wider than 3" across.  That's pretty small.

I recently posted the results on my 17" monitor (with a ruler for scale
in a couple of them) :

It's running at 1280x1024 which makes each DOS window a bit larger at 7"
across.  But that's still a bit too small for regular use.  And, the
height of those windows is fixed at 80x25 chars.  Taller/longer windows
would be good!

As you discovered, the login screen is scalable, but not the actual
webpoint session.
