A couple of thoughts:

1. Have an autostart job in the subsystem which acquires the workstation, 
then the workstation doesn't have to be signed on.

2. It is possible to create a sign-on display file which has the user-id 
and password hard-coded, protected, and non-display so that all the user 
has to do is press Enter.  You have to be creative to do this and still 
keep the record format correct, but I did many years ago and it is possible.
