Yes, I am using the Cygwin mintty console (typically configured for 80 columns by 50 rows). On Linux, MacOS X, Solaris. Unix and Windows (with cygwin) platforms, I issue the appropriate console bash commands to change (TERM=emulator) or reset (STTY sane) the terminal emulation:

TERM=xterm
TERM=xterm-16color
TERM=xterm-88color
TERM=xterm-256color
