   Hello,   
    g0> What is your location?   
   Italy   
    g0> The only one of those that is a BBS terminal is SyncTerm, so that is   
    g0> your best bet.  I can't say why its not allowing cut and paste.  Perhaps   
    g0> it disables it when the remote side can use mouse support?   
   I already use but not being able to copy and paste is really too uncomfortable,   
   in the end I always use gnome terminal.   
    g0> In Mystic you can enable asking for a codepage on login and you can   
    g0> select UTF-8 there or ASCII based on your terminal type.  Your terminal   
    g0> encoding needs to match that of the BBS otherwise you're going to get   
    g0> odd issues.   
   My Mystic local codepage is setted to UTF8 (as you can see on this link:   
   https://postimg.cc/cggDqgSP) and I choose UTF8 when I connect (when he asks me)   
   but ever strange symbols instead of accented words...
