When I replied to your question yesterday I evidently e-mailed my reply
instead of posting it as I intended.  As I may have been in any of the
articles when I replied I don't know to whom I may have sent the
messages.  Anyway, here goes again.

I asked whether you had contacted tech support at Intrec.  Intrec is among
the few Apple II vendors who still support their Apple II products.  
Their web site is www.intrec.com, tech support e-mail is
proterm@intrec.com, and the tech support phone no. is (602)992-1345.  
Have you registered your copy of ProTerm with them?

You have already clicked on the dial drop down menu and selected create
system to set up a dial-up no. on ProTerm, haven't you?

There are 2 screens I know of which set the parms for your ProTerm
session.  They are the edit system parts screen which appears when you
dial a phone no. you have already set up as a dial-up no.,  and the
on-line parameters screen which appears when you click on the online drop
down menu and select Parameters.  In my experience the edit system parms
screen sets the parms for the particular dial-up no., and the on-line
parameters screen sets the parms in general for all on-line sessions under
ProTerm.  Evidently, the edit system parms screen can reset parms for a
particular dial-up no., and in that sense can override the on-line
parameters screen re that particular dial-up no.

My current settings in my edit system parms screen are baud rate:38400,
data format:8N1, duplex:full, break time 50/100, emulate: DEC VT-100,
delete key:emulate, backspace:emulate, status bar checked, connect time 45
seconds, and I chose the filename when I set up the dial-up no.  The other
parm fields were left blank.

The settings in my on-line parameters screen agree with the corresponding
fields in the edit system parms screen, and the last 2 settings are auto
protocol start:none, line status:online.

This is what works for me; I don't know if it helps you.
