Notes on  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 the old UUCP network and 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."
