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...
