It would work even better if you used "buffer" as in:
dump 0f - /dev/rXXX | rsh exahost "buffer -s 126b > /dev/exabyte"
"buffer is a program that forks itself into a reader and a writer process that
communicate thru shared memory. It is written by Lee McLoughlin, Imperial College,
London. If you can't find it enywhere else, it's in
ural.ethz.ch:software/source/buffer.tar.Z.
