The internet and misc computers -- what would survice?
I know that it's tempting to simply say "It's all gone," but many types of military aircraft are EMP hardened, many military facilities, and many military computers in those facilities may be properly hardened. In addition, I will let slip that some military vehicles in command posts are EMP hardened, as are both computer and commo links to lower and higher echelons. As some have pointed out on this board; it's not even hard to do.
By T2K canon, the military and Milgov have commo links that may even allow sporadic commo links to the Middle East, Europe, Australia, and maybe even important places like Diego Garcia. Computer links may also be possible using those commo links. It just depends of the amount of charged particles in the atmosphere at the time of the commo attempt and the thickness of the ionosphere (which could be thickened by the bursting of liberal amounts of nukes).
As far as the internet, I think its possible that ARPAnet might have survived. That was why it was originally built.
