How can I expand the window size of a telnet session?
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".

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.
