If you're using SyncTERM v1.2b, then most likely the issue is just that the BBS is capturing the mouse controls. Alt-B (scroll back) will allow you to copy/paste. And in the latest builds of SyncTERM v1.2b, Alt-O can be used to toggle the mouse reporting off/on, as well. And if it's a Synchronet BBS, you can turn off mouse reporting at the per-user-settings level (in terminal settings).
