! is directly analogous to @, except it is grouped from the other end.  It
is a UUCP address.  Unix to Unix CoPy is a utility under unix whereby
machines call each other up to transfer files, send mail, or execute
processes on a remote machine.  normal phone lines and dial-up lines
are normally used with 300 or 1200 baud modems.  It is a good system
because anybody can call anybody, sites can be added or removed
arbirarily and easily.  It is a bad system because you have to know
the path through the network.

I don't know who calls whuxg .  It is a Bell labs machine in Whippany.
I sent a letter to John at wheps!alc (alc is someone's login) asking him
to help.   A shorter way to get to sheps from decvax is through zeppo,
so decvax!zeppo!wheps!alc@berkeley should work.  You see, berkeley
on the arpanet and ucbvax on uucp are the same machine... actually,
they are a network, but the mailers at berkeley understand... It will go
from you over the arpanet to berkeley.  berkeley is also ucbvax, and 
ucbvax talks to decvax.  decvax will send it to zeppo, who will send it
to wheps, who will say OH!  I know alc !  and put it in his (or her)
mailbox.

have fun...
