Username, not password.

MaCORS will let you sign up with a username that has an @, and doesn't
mention it as odd.  They will then let you sign up again so you can have
a username without an @ :-)

So I think it's clear enough that the NTRIP username might have an @.

Understood - just thought it was useful to explain.

I suspect that Max we will ignore and iMax will work, along with
'nearest', one someone figures out how to send location upstream by
reading RTKLIB.

WAAS is DGPS, really.  It's just that it's a coarse grid, and the data
link from WAAS is a bit iffy in some environments.

exactly where I am going.
