Hi Chris,
Its a good idea to send your messages to the linux5250 mailing list, so
that others can benefit from the answers to your questions, and also
because there are a lot of things that I don't know. :)
So, I'm sending a CC: of this message to the list.

Yes, you can. You can have multiple displays connected to the same AS/400
as well, if you like.
Just make your configuration file look something like this:
conn1 {
env.DEVNAME = dsp01
host = as400-1.mydomain.com
}
conn2 {
env.DEVNAME = dsp02
host = as400-2.mydomain.com
}
conn3 {
env.DEVNAME = dsp01
host = as400-x.yourdomain.com
}
(Items in the config file _are_ case sensitive)
env.DEVNAME = name of device on the AS/400 (if you don't set this,
it'll use QPADEVxxxx)
host = machine to connect to.
then type:
xt5250 conn1 &
xt5250 conn2 &
xt5250 conn3 &
to connect to all 3 systems/displays. You could also create
icons/launchers/buttons/etc that start your xt5250 script, but as that
varies depending on your window manager, I can't give you specifics.
(This assumes, of course, that all of your AS/400's are reachable from
the same machine using TCP/IP, and that the AS/400's are properly
configured for it...)

not sure what you mean by "best way to open multiple connections" but
maybe the info I gave above already answers your question?
