...!seismo, ut-sally, ihnp4!rice!beta!gamma!me

Bang paths of 8 to 10 hops were not uncommon in 1981.Late-night dial-up UUCP links would cause week-longtransmission times. Bang paths were often selected by bothtransmission time and reliability, as messages would often getlost.

bang path

An address for sending email via UUCP that specifies the entire route to the destination computer. It separates each hostname with an exclamation point, which is known as a bang.
