The "dumb" termcap does not support cursor addressing, so although it
can be used with nearly any terminal it is not usually the best that
can be done for any specific model.
The raw Apple //e (extended monitor ROM) termcap is given below.
Note that this mode is not very useful, mostly due to the brain-
damaged CR behavior.
The native Apple deficiencies can be overcome by software, often
embedded in the communication program. I do not know whether
this is true for Smartcom or not.

# Apple //e with 80-column card
# The modem interface is permitted to discard LF (maybe DC1), otherwise
# passing characters to the 80-column firmware via COUT (PR#3 assumed).
# Auto-wrap does not work right due to newline scrolling delay, which also
# requires that you set "stty cr2".
# Note: Cursor addressing is only available via the Pascal V1.1 entry,
# not via the BASIC PR#3 hook. All this nonsense can be avoided only by
# using a terminal emulation program instead of the built-in firmware.
