What he's saying is that, basically, they give you a temporary  
username and password and that all of it's requests are being proxied  
to their provisioning page to do the permanent setup of the accounts  
credentials. If that's the case, then the above procedure isn't going  
to work, because he doesn't have a working username and password yet,  
and I'm assuming that since this question is hitting the mailing list,  
he's tried linux based browser and they can't deal with at&t's website  
(which is particularly stupid of them, if true)
