Here's the relevant code with some clueful in-line documentation.  Both 
the documentation and the code make it very clear that if you want to 
match unspecified TSIs (null) than you really want to match "<UNSPECIFIED>".

       /*
        * Check a received TSI/PWD against the list of acceptable
        * patterns defined for the server.  This form of access
        * control depends on the sender passing a valid TSI/PWD.
        * Note that to accept/reject unspecified values one
        * should match "<UNSPECIFIED>".
        *
        * NB: Caller-ID access control is done elsewhere; prior
        *     to answering a call.
        */
       if (!modem->getRecvTSI(info.sender))            // optional TSI
           info.sender = "<UNSPECIFIED>";
       if (qualifyTSI != "") {
           okToRecv = isTSIOk(info.sender);
           reason = "Permission denied (unnacceptable client TSI)";
           traceServer("%s TSI \"%s\"", okToRecv ? "ACCEPT" : "REJECT",
               (const char*) info.sender);
       }
