Cheers, I’ve sent him an email as I don’t think the port number will be 2 digits. Not a good start to my relationship with the supplier!
Line details are normally in this format:
CWS = shitlips.net 15660 FIVE-CAPS! ANDFIVENO 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
username and password FIVE-CAPS! ANDFIVENO have numbers and letters and are upper case.
these can be changed by the supplier to pitch183 and pitch183 or anything he can think of at the time, which doesn't sound like much
the server name and port number will stay the same as generated by the server like the above example
These aren't usually changed by the reseller because he doesn't know how to do it, nor what he's doing
if he's changed the username and password from whatever was generated, or he's told the person on ebay he's buying the line from for £5 that he wants it changing to
Cws = server.whatever.org 88bc1023 bc1023 01 02 03 etc
he's got the username and port number mixed and he's got the port number as part of the username and the line won't work EG server.whatever.org 88bc1023
- part of this 88bc1023 crapola will be your port number, which in the example I posted above is 15660, I can't really see how he has made such a glaring mistake, nor how you have managed to take a sub without testing the line first, explain.
