   you might want to do   
      
     read origZone origNet origNode origPoint origDomain <<< \   
       $(echo $origAddr | tr ':/.@' ' ')   
     read destZone destNet destNode destPoint destDomain <<< \   
       $(echo $destAddr | tr ':/.@' ' ')   
      
   to handle 5D FTN addresses like  1:11/111.0@fidonet   
      
   not knowing what else you are doing over there, i don't know the effects of an   
   empty origDomain or destDomain or if the script will blow up if the '.' and/or   
   '@' don't exist in the address...
