EAP/MD5 is the only way for WinNT as far as I know. MD5 hash is transferred 
over the net, so no plaintext passwords on the line.

SMB experimental yes.

Well, I could not imagine how WinNT could deliver VLANs since these 
information is not stored in WinNT user profiles. Perhaps you have to use 
realms to link user groups to VLANs. Only the username part is forwarded to 
WinNT. The username could look like [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No chance since dialupadmin does not work with SMB. You always hace to set up 
two admins systems: One for WinNT, one for Radius.

The better was would be to use directly the AD from Win2003. It should be 
possible to store VLAN information in AD with a scheme extension. Freeradius 
can operate together with AD. Management from AD.
