I reckon the problem is that FAL can't handle segmented messages. I need
to do some work here and I'm away from home at the moment so don't hold your
breath! 

You should be able to "pull" the file from VMS by using dncopy on the Linux
machine, it's possible to trigger this from VMS using SUBMIT/REMOTE on a shell
script or (and I haven't tried this so it may not work) convert the file to 
STREAMLF, then use the SET FILE command to change the attributes to fixed-length
512 byte records, no carriage control and send that to Linux.
