Terminal resolution on Ubuntu server?

[Knute Johnson]

I recently upgraded my server machine from 9.04 to 9.10 and the 
resolution of the terminal went from 24 lines x 80 characters to 48 
lines and a bunch of characters.  It's also in color which is cool.

The problem is that I have a hard time reading it without my glasses and 
would love to put it back to something a little less dense.  Anybody 
know how to adjust that?  I want to keep the color though.

Thanks,
