What you are showing should work.  I have this server, and it works
nicely:

/----
| ;;; Editing the server.
| ;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
| 
| (nntp "quimby"
|       (nntp-address "bonny")
|       (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
|       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
|       (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
|       (nntp-rlogin-parameters
|        ("telnet" "quimby.gnus.org" "nntp")))
| 
\----

Looks a lot like your first variant, no?

You might wish to try to manually establish a connection to your news
server:

rsh -l USER delaware telnet news.globix.net nntp

Do you get a connection when you do this?
