  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."
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  hop
       
          1.  One point-to-point transmission in a series
          required to get a message 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 hop
          count of the shortest path between them.  This can be more
          significant than their geographical separation.
       
          Each {exclamation mark} in a {bang path} represents one hop.
       
          2.  One direct host-to-host connection forming
          part of the route between two hosts in a {routed} {network}
          such as the {Internet}.  Some {protocols} place an upper limit
          on the hop count in order to detect routing loops.
       
          3.  To {log in} to a {remote} computer,
          especially via {rlogin} or {telnet}.  "I'll hop over to foovax
          to FTP that."
