PoseidoNet

PoseidoNet is a pre-War transcontinental network operated by Poseidon Energy, stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic.Thunder Mountain Power Plant terminal entries, Thunder Mountain Master Control terminal: "Thunder Mountain Internal Network--}---- Welcome to PoseidoNet ----{--"
==Background==
PoseidoNet was the network backbone of the military-industrial complex, connecting not just corporate branches, but also government and military facilities, allowing real-time communication. It provided enough bandwidth to support downloading robot routines (as long as the PoseidoNet search could find them on the network),Reactor Maintenance and Repair Robot control terminal: "{331}{}{Download Maintenance Robot Routines}{340}{}{Searching…. Maintenance Robot Routines not found.}"(Gecko reactor maintenance terminal's information) real-time videoconferencing,Enclave communications officer: "{103}{powr1}{ENCLAVE here. Why isn’t your video feed working?}"The Chosen One: "{104}{}{Uh, it’s working just fine. I can see you.}"
Enclave communications officer: "{106}{}{We’re working on the visual link right now. I just wanted to test it.}"(Enclave communications officer's dialogue) and the ability to perform traces for security purposes, allowing for locating unauthorized users.Enclave communications officer: "{126}{powr4b_b}{Oh? A wise guy, huh? Look, I’m tracing you right now, pal. We’ll see how smart you feel with internal security all over your fricking ass. Dickhead!}"(Enclave communications officer's dialogue) Security was maintained by preventing uplink to central PoseidoNet without inputting the correct security access code sequence. If a user failed to input the correct code three times, PoseidoNet would immediately activate internal security procedures,Reactor Maintenance and Repair Robot control terminal: "{300}{}{Incorrect Security Access Code Entered.}{301}{}{Incorrect Security Access Code Entered. Access Denied. Please enter correct code. Two more attempts permitted.}{302}{}{Incorrect Security Access Code Entered. Access Denied. One more attempt permitted.}{303}{}{Incorrect Security Access Code Entered. Access Denied. Internal Security Procedures Activated.}"(Gecko reactor maintenance terminal's information) and lock the terminal down. PoseidoNet network supervisors could remove the lockout, though some terminals could simply be reset locally to restore access.Reactor Maintenance and Repair Robot control terminal: "{250}{}{This Terminal Closed For Security Reasons. Please inform PoseidoNet Supervisor.}"The Chosen One: "{252}{}{Hmm, I wonder if this has a local reset. There’s one. Let me try it.}"(Gecko reactor maintenance terminal's information)
Commercial variants of PoseidoNet were available on the market, sometimes bundled with other software, like the Poseidon Power Management System, available as trialware. After the trial period elapsed, PoseidoNet would not install any updates, including any Help system updates. Ironically, the PR_002 Presidential shelter on a Poseidon oil rig used such a commercial variant whose trial period ran out a few years after the Great War. It remained in use without a replacement for the next one and a half centuries until the oil rig's destruction. 
Post-War, the Enclave used PoseidoNet to communicate between its facilities scattered across the American wastes. The system proved its resilience, remaining operational and capable of connecting even to orbital assets as late as 2281.
