I dont know about for any other operating systems, but for linux, someone 
wrote or edited a talkd that filters them.. You can ftp it from 
sunsite.unc.edu, it is /pub/Linux/system/Network/chat/talkd.bomb_proof.tgz
I believe there was the source in there.. I am currently running it.. it 
logs them to your syslog like this: 
Apr 19 22:19:26 whitehouse talkd[4694]: blocked 
VT100 BOMB to user: static (apparently from: localhost)

I ran flash localy to the user static.. 

hope this helped
