This works for me:

#
# Auxiliary devices
#
# vid/keybd mode settings:
keymap="uk.cp850"
keyrate="fast"
font8x8="swiss-8x8"
allscreens_flags="-h 14500 80x50"

the scrollback buffer 14500 might be overkill, remove it or set it
lower to your taste. 80x50 is quite a nice resolution, again up to you.
I think the 'fast' keyrate is equivalent to 250.34 IIRC.
