I've had pretty good luck hexediting w/ khexedit (part of KDE). It
does have a insert/delete mode.
Albeit that involves Linux/KDE, and is fairly fat.
I believe "hiew" is available for DOS that works reasonably as well.
The demo version may be enough for what you need.

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.
