I think there is a single username and password that is common to all the amstrads. This username and password is stored in the configuration file that it starts out with and that it downloads. I'm not sure I feel comfortable in disclosing it publicly though. All the URLs it requests are also stored in the config file, i.e. the ones for registration and adverts etc.
Interesting; I can't find a similar file stored on the E3 filesystem. I wonder if it gets written after registration and is in the binary until then.
Very possible.
All you need to do to determine it is to set up a PPP server and get the amstrad to dial it. I'm sure you can change the registration number manually so you don't need a pbx to do this.
I couldn't figure out a way to do this; I tried setting a prefix, but it didn't want to let me. Perhaps I should try harder. :)
I seem to remember that if you try to register several times and always fail, it eventually prompts you for a new phone number. It's been a year since I had to do this though.
