UUCPNET n. obs. The store-and-forward network consisting of all the
world's 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.
