If you look at other Real references on that server, you might
be able to (in Netscape terms) right-click Save-As and save
the .ram file to disk, which might contain:

   pnm://streams2.vortex.com/bride-v.rm

which indicates he's running a real Real server. Doesn't the
for-pay $30 version of RealPlayer allow you to save files?

Some .ram files merely reference an .rm file via http://,
such as a .ram that contains:

   http://streams2.vortex.com/rmf/daisy.rm

which would allow you to just enter that URL directly,
or save-as, and then you'd have the .rm file.
