Its interesting,
when I hit enter on your examples, I got a malformed news url error,
stating no server specified.

Hi Chime,
lynx news.us.easynews.com
I’ve got a bit of success-ish with both:
lynx nntp://news.us.easynews.com
and
lynx news://news.us.easynews.com
Success as in, it asks for a username (which I don’t have).
From earlier experience reading GMane news with lynx, you
don’t need *any* configuration and it will just work with
any site that runs an actual NNTP/Usenet server.
Good luck,

Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
