One of them is the main request/response channel (e.g. 'execute this
code', 'get completions for foo'), one is a publication channel,
primarily for things printed to stdout, and I think the third is to
get input for stdin (although the notebook doesn't currently implement
that).

There's a pull request open that experiments with merging the three
websocket channels into one - that might help you:

Best wishes,
