I'm not sure if the client-side of PC Anywhere uses a fixed port. It's been
years since I've used it. But here's something I wrote earlier:
Versions of PC Anywhere < 7.5 may/may not be using TCP 5631 and UDP 5632, but
may in fact be using TCP 65301 and UDP 22! They screwed up on the
byte-ordering of the port number at one time, so you'll have to check your
version to see what ports it is really using.

Great! But I'm almost done this email, so I'll send it anyways :)

Hrm. If I understand the syntax above, a telnet would probably not connect
at all unless the telnet client happened to be using a source port of 5631.

Yeah, I got one of those; a Qube2. Really, really cute box. Takes a bit
more effort to set up than a plain-vanilla Linux box; which is ironic because
it's supposed to be easier. But once you replace sendmail with qmail, and
fix a couple of little things it isn't so bad. Though it is missing a bit of
utility for me because of the limited driver's available; they must be ported
due to a few architecture issues.
Anyhow, I put software on it all the time. I don't have the guts to rebuild
the kernel however :) but I don't really need to.. and I figure they will
come out with a newer kernel on their own. There are some instructions on
their knowledgebase on how to do this fairly safely; i.e. you can stick an
old kernel under /usr/games/dave or something in case it won't boot the new
one.
If you're really stuck with that PC Anywhere stuff on the Qube. You can
always do things in user-space with a little proxy, rather than using port
forwarding.
