I used a Visual 200 a while back and had the same problem.  My conclusion
was that it does not emulate any of those terminals properly.  the best bet
for me was to use Visual 200 mode and use the following termcap entry.

# The Visual 200 beeps when you type a character in insert mode.
# This is a horribly obnoxious misfeature, and some of the entries
# below try to get around the problem by ignoring the feature or
# turning it off when inputting a character.  They are said not to
# work well at 300 baud.  (You could always cut the wire to the bell!)

The <esc>c starts smooth scrolling and <esc>d stops it.  Or was it the
other way around?  One or the other.
