I use Emacs Hexl-mode for that.
I've thought about compiling GNOME Hex Editor (ghex), but never have
gotten around to it:

I haven't tried DataWorkshop (written in Java), but it looks pretty
nice:

Maybe it would be reasonable to add paper-tape support to one of
those.
A search for "hex editor" on
freshmeat.net turns up quite a few other
programs as well, including at least four GPL'd text/curses-based
editors.

For people familair with the vi editor, there is a 'binary' version of
it called 'bvi' out there. It's an official 'package' on NetBSD and
should build from source easily on any UNIX type system.
