well TON usually have to be set to specific values for specific types 
of numbers. The current code does set it to 1 for international 
numbers (the ones who start with +) and 2 for others (assuming they 
are national) and to 0 for alphanumeric ones. The point is that in 
kannel there's no representation for TON so we have to assume 
something. Setting it to a fixed value only makes sense if we always 
send international numbers or always nationals etc. In my case, I'm 
always sending international but I might reply to national ones when 
I get them from the SMSC as such (polling).

So its not just adding a configuration directive to say TON=value 
because in some cases you need to set it. Its more like a behaviour. 
So in the mentioned case it might work out ok if a + is added to the 
number (the code removes it afterwards).
