   Choose a font size, switch to full-screen and count the number of   
   lines and columns which are displayed. Then enter this values (or smaller   
   ones) in the window size entry and buffer size entry.

   You choose how big a character is displayed on the screen (to big also   
   isn't very readable) and then it depends on the size of your screen   
   how many lines and columns fit on the screen. Whats wrong if more than   
   80x24 fit on the screen if the size is optimal for readability.

   Yes, Android. But most applications are Java byte code. This way the   
   App doesn't depend on the CPU used.

   Why not install a free Android emulator in Windows? A big PC screen is   
   much better than a small phone screen. Or if you don't need a SIM slot,   
   buy a cheap 10" tablet.

   Yes, but maybe after power on you have to confirm that there is   
   no SIM card inserted.

   There are also versions written in JavaScript, so it runs in a web   
   browser: https://www.pcjs.org/   
      
   But I don't think it is very useful.
