I've given up getting an XTerm session from my windows X
client working, and really all I want is large text window session.
So, how can I expand the window size of telnet session beyond
the anaemic dimensions of 80x25?

"X client"? X is a server; client applications use it. And I'm assuming
below that "windows" refers to some version of Microsoft Windows.

Window size (in the form of characters per line and lines on the screen) is
information that the terminal-emulator client (or the actual terminal, but
that's pretty much ancient history) passes on to the server. Since your
client is running on Windows, this is really a Windows question, save for
the Linux advice that you use a client that supports larger window sizes.
As to Windows client selection ... I no longer do telnet sessions, but
Putty communicates window resizing smoothly for ssh sessions (all I need to
do is drag the window to a larger size), so it probably does the same for
telnets. TerraTerm was clunkier in this respect (and many others), which is
why I no longer use it. Beefore I switched to ssh, I did use a terminal app
that also resized nicely for telnets, but I forget its name. No doubt a
search of a Windows freeware/shareware archive like TUCOWS will turn up
some other choices.

ummm, I've been fiddling with XWin32, which I thought was X windows
manager that operated as a "client" logging into my Linux X-Windows
"server".

Thanks, I will.

I'm unfamiliar with that product, but a quick search found its home Web
site at http://www.xwin32.dk/, and the docs there refer to it as a "PC X
server". So I assume it is a fairly conventional implementation of X for
Windows (there have been many over the years). With no details provided, it
is not apparent why it is not working for you ... but to the extent that
the problems are on the Windows end, this list is not likely to be a good
place to work those out.
Another option you might want to consider is VNC. To use it, you run a
server on the remote machine (in this case, the Linux host) and a client on
the local workstation (in this case, the WinXX host). Your Linux distro
probably have both vncserver and vncclient packages, and the usual sorts of
searches will lead you to the Windows app.
