Have you thought about creating a PTY on the near side of the
connection?  Once you have a PTY, you should be able to change this
sort of thing with the TIOCSWINSZ ioctl.  (I've even written some
Perl code to do this in the past - both creating PTYs as well as setting
the size.  Let me know if you'd like to have a look.)
