I'm in a similar (but less extreme) situation. We've had very good luck by having all the team connected to the same IM chat (we use our own Jabber server). Anytime you need to ask a quick question, you just use the chat. The other guy can answer when he has time, and everyone else sees what's going on and can chip in if they also have suggestions. It's also good for just chatting and keeping in touch.
