My original request was:
I'd like to create a dump saveset across the network. When I did this on
my DECstation (Ultrix) to a VAX running VMS I used something like:
dump 9uf / - | compress -cv | dcp -i name_at_host:filename
This won't work for me now on my AlphaStation (DU 3.2d) because I don't
have DECnet installed (nor do I want to) and I can't see a way to make
rcp accept anything from stdin. I want to avoid creating the dump file
on my local machine and copying it. Any ideas?

This group is amazing! I had no less than 8 answers in an hour and a half!
Here are some of the suggestions:
dump 0uf / - | gzip -9 --stdout | rsh remotehost \
"cat - > /path/host.date.dump.gz"
dump 9uf / - | compress -cv | rsh -l user host dd of=filename
Use rdump
I've played around with the first and was very successful. Thanks to the
