For choose a login server it was easy, just read the WIKI :

5997 isn't good port for any eqemu version.
If you use version 0.6.0 you need to use 5994. Eqemu 0.6.1 to 0.6.6 use 5998.
But you must have a compatible client
A devs can say if i'm wrong, but all connection about zone are make in TCP and not UDP, if you can open also TCP port that can work better i think
