I seem to recall some trickery I used that looked something like this:
diane.uucp!rutgers.edu!{osu-cis,cornel-cs,duke-nukem}!njc at attmail.com
I recall that the use of % and @ towards the end if bang path got tricky
as it required a bit of knowledge of the end system and which it would
work with first. And the 3 systems in the OR part of the path ...
well I can only recall the osu-cis machine, I don't recall what other
2 I might have used back then.
Oddly I thought the % was used on bitnet.
