I'm on rubyrhinosaur's boat in that it's latency from the connection. I've seen other posts regarding having issues when dialup is involved. EqEmu is in development and still seems to generate a lot of traffic which isn't always bad for broadband, but on your 56k modem which is only talking to your friend at 33.6k, I would believe you would have trouble. That would also explain why it worked at one point. Have you tried moving his character in the database to a completely empty zone where it doesn't have to send him the NPC information? It's a possibility I guess, but I'm just grasping at straws unfortunately.
