Hello guys, on my Mystic based BBS (under Ubuntu 22.04) I have a problem with
accented words, when I write them, strange symbols appear and I have to use
the normal vowels with the apostrophe.
This the problem: è this is e with accent...
Some idea?

This is most likely that your terminal is using UTF8. You should consider
connecting to your BBS with a known BBS terminal or you can switch to UTF8 in
Mystic as well but support for it isn't the best in the current version.

.... I have a really good memory, except it's short.

so i can't use syncterm because of no way to copy paste text and i can't use a
standard gnome terminal because of no way to write accented words; I also tryed
with cp437 bin (on github) but no way to use backspace.... all is very
frustrating... there is no way to have a decent experience i think.

Have you tried Netrunner?? Not sure if it will fix your issues, but it runs
very well and supports CP437 and VT-102.. Give that a shot too...

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.

.... Enter any 12-digit prime number to continue.
