  With pcvt and 1.3.3/i386 it is possible.  Basically, what you have to
do is:

  - use 'loadfont' to load an 8x8 font, e.g.
    /usr/share/pcvt/fonts/vt220l.808

  - use 'scon' to switch to 50 line mode,

  - use 'cursor' to specify a new start and ending scanline for
    the cursor, as the old defaults won't give you a visible cursor.

  Under NetBSD-1.3 versions prior to 1.3.3 you have to compile these
utilities yourself (under /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/Util).

  Cheers
