I want to run two emulators simultaneously, one on port 5554, and one on 5556. The first one is already set; but how do I configure the second one to be on 5556 (in Elipse)?

Launch the dialer app on the originating emulator instance. As the number to dial, enter the console port number of the instance you'd like to call. You can determine the console port number of the target instance by checking its window title, where the console port number is reported as "Android Emulator (<port>).
The Android SDK includes an Android device emulator — a virtual device that runs on your computer. The Android Emulator lets you develop and test Android apps without using a physical device.
Change directory to android-sdk/tools
Issue the following command
./emulator -port 5556 -avd AVD2_1_HVGA
AVD2_1_HVGA is my AVD name in Eclipse. You can see your AVD name by selecting the menu Window > AVD Manager.

Just put -port 5556 on the command line that launches the second emulator. You should be able to adjust the command line in the Launch Configuration panel.

It seems if I start another AVD (NOT another Android app directly from Eclipse, which then naturally invokes an AVD), and THEN start the second app from Eclipse, and choose the just-invoked AVD to run it, it will automatically use 5556 (with the previously running Android app defaulting to using 5554). So: problem solved; it seems there is no need to go to a command line, it's simply a matter of doing things in a particular order.
