UUCPNET

From S23Wiki

	This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for UUCPNET - Next: V7, Prev: UTSL
:UUCPNET: /n. obs./ The store-and-forward network consisting of all the worlds connected Unix machines (and others running some clone of the UUCP (Unix-to-Unix CoPy) software). Any machine reachable only via a bang path is on UUCPNET. This term has been rendered obsolescent by the spread of cheap Internet connections in the 1990s; the few remaining UUCP links are essentially slow channels to the Internet rather than an autonomous network. See network address.
