Hi Chime,

>lynx news.us.easynews.com

I=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99t have).

From=20earlier experience reading GMane news with lynx, you
don=E2=80=99t need *any* configuration and it will just work with
any site that runs an actual NNTP/Usenet server.

Good luck,
