Hi Tian,
  you're right that in ITU.T ISUP the number has to be terminated by 0x0f.
  However, I thinkt libss7 is doing it well.
  In isup_set_called(), it adds '#' to the end of the number.
  Then, in called_party_num_transmit(), it calls isup_put_number() to insert
the number to the message. And isup_put_number() calls char2digit(), which
converts '#' to 0x0f.
