Right now they're dumb terminals. However, we have a Z9BC on order and when we migrate to it, the consoles will be on PCs. The problem with the windows screen saver lock is that the console output isn't seen anymore. What I'm looking for is the ability to have the console messages scrolling, but if the operator needs to do something on the console they have to log on to it. It looks like my only option is to set up output-only consoles in the unsecured area and make the operator get up and walk into the secured computer room to actually respond to a console message. They're going to hate that but I see no other way to keep the consoles secure and yet allow them to see the messages.
