CafeSuite alone provides very basic support consoles. You can count time for them and use accounts, blocking and displaying messages is not possible. The number of consoles managed in that manner is unlimited.
With a relay board attached to the LPT port, CafeSuite can control up to 8 consoles, they should have numbers 1-8 on the workstation list and have the Game console option selected in the Workstation properties window.
The example relay board compatible with CafeSuite can be found on this page:

This device controls the power input to the console or TV, so when the time is over it's simply switched off.
