It shouldn't matter, Dieter.  As I said, the fake address is never exported 
in the seen-by (or anywhere else) so FidoNet never sees it.

As far as I can remember, all IC assigned fakenet addresses had the form of 
nnnnn (/0) but you're probably right about none being higher than 32767 (I 
didn't check the FTS).  I guess the 0:0/0 would work fine as long as it 
doesn't wind up in the exported seen-by line.  Maybe I should've said 30000 
instead of 55555; I didn't actually try the 55555. ;-)
