[HECnet] "illegal record size" in RSX?

[Paul_Koning at Dell.com]

Stream-CR, interesting. 

I thought that you can adjust what Linux does, and a check of the manpage for dncopy confirms that.  The default record format is stream -- which is fine for Linux and RSTS, not so much for RSX.  To override it, add "-r var" to set the record format to variable, which is what RSX-like systems prefer.
