Description 
Using lower case characters in the 'server' field for pppoec doesn't
work right because of this error in hexdecode() in common.c:

-->	if (chr >= 'a' && chr <= 'F')
		return ((int)(chr - 'a' + 10));

That obviously should be 'f' and not 'F'.

This looks like an 'oss-bite-size' bug if I've seen one.

Work Around 
Use upper case hex in this field; that works fine.
