This should work:

mknod /tmp/pipe p                                   #MAKE A FIFO PIPE

(rsh remote_site cat /var/tmp/exp.dmp) > /tmp/pipe #START A REMOTE CAT COMMAND TO A LOCAL

                                                    #     FILE IN A
SECOND WINDOW
imp / full=y show=y file=pipe                       #START IMPORT
rm /tmp/pipe                                        #REMOVE THE FIFO
