What is your location?

The only one of those that is a BBS terminal is SyncTerm, so that is your best 
bet.  I can't say why its not allowing cut and paste.  Perhaps it disables it 
when the remote side can use mouse support?

You could also try NodeSpy Terminal that comes with Mystic if you're using 
Mystic.

In Mystic you can enable asking for a codepage on login and you can select 
UTF-8 there or ASCII based on your terminal type.  Your terminal encoding needs 
to match that of the BBS otherwise you're going to get odd issues.
