Bill,
I have a valid Sun Online Account user name which is an email
address. The user name contains an @ [at] symbol and a period.
To confirm what Derek already said - having an "@" character in your
login (or password) is no problem.
Judging from the debug output you provide, SunSolve doesn't accept you
login/password as valid. AFAIK different internal procedures are used
depending on whether you use a browser or wget, so that might explain
why it works with one method but not with the other.
Please take a look at:

There's a note about wget not working for new accounts in the first 48
hours after creating or updating the SOA. Does that apply to your
situation? The simple advice might be to try again later.
Regarding your test to use wget directly - your command line missed some
required options. See the examples on the above webpage and try again
(don't miss the note about the "--auth-no-challenge", depending on the
wget version you use).
Without a working DNS setup, it's probably not enough to add
sunsolve.sun.com to /etc/hosts. The request will be redirected twice to
other hosts. Find their names in the mentioned InfoDoc and add them to
/etc/hosts as well (although I don't think that is the reason for your
original problem).
hth,
Martin.
