All,
Host: Windows7
Guest: CentOS 5.6
Guest was installed with server components only no GUI
Installed VBox Guest Additions
In the VBox status actual machine is running with a resolution of 720X440 and no scrollback ability. I can double click the window title bar which makes the window the size of the hosts resolution 1280X1024 but the actual text in the machine is still 720X440.
Is this the best it gets even with Guest Additions installed?

Guest additions work only with X so since you don't have X it will not resize. You can however use the framebuffer to adjust the size. Consult the OS for instructions

Scrolling in a terminal is done with the shift and pgup pgdn key combo
