Right. The *only* source of problem would be if you are booting from a
SCSI disk. It is important that Linux assigns the right board to scsi
host 0. In the case of a pair of PCI cards, you need to make sure that
the board that needs to scsi #0, is seen first on the PCI bus. This is
mostly a matter if you had things set up with one SCSI board and then
added a second board later -- unless games & fun with boot and rescue
floppies is something you totally enjoy, you should make sure that the
added board is detected as scsi #1, by being 'later' on the PCI bus.

Yes I have, as a matter of fact I did it both ways and still I get that
error message. I even installed the latest pppd and still got the error
message.

I upgraded my kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.2.7 and I am using the Red Hat 5.1
distribution. Fortunately I still have my old kernel so I am able to use
the ppp option with the old kernel.
Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance

Don't know about how many clients you're talking, but maybe you should take
a look at AFS, which is supposed to give a better performance...
