hop: 1. n. [common] One file transmission in a series required
to get a file from point A to point B on a store-and-forward
network. On such networks (including UUCPNET and FidoNet), an
important inter-machine metric is the number of hops in the shortest
path between them, which can be more significant than their
geographical separation. See bang path. 2. v. [rare] To log in to
a remote machine, esp. via rlogin or telnet. "I'll hop over to
foovax to FTP that."
