The wiki is incorrect. Unless the isdn implementation in the switch is 
broken it _should_ pay attention to the TON/NPI fields, in which case the 
default "national" is almost certainly not the what you want. 

The correct entry for most switches is "unknown" since that tells the 
switch to interpret the dialstring the same way it would be done on a pots 
phone.
