2 definitions found From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]: 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}. From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: UUCPNET The international {store and forward} network consisting of all the world's connected {Unix} machines (and others running some clone of the {UUCP} software). Any machine reachable only via a {bang path} is on UUCPNET. See {network address}. [{Jargon File}]
