Hmmm... MSCHAPv2 which requires a database that supports MSCHAPv2 or passwords stored in plain-text. Therefore no authenticating PEAP to LDAP or SQL(unless sql database supports MSCHAPv2). That alone gives the edge to TTLS. There's a free TTLS client for W2k/XP from http://www.alfa-ariss.com

  The information seems technically incorrect.
  
  MSCHAP does not require passwords stored in plain-text; and this is considered one of the many advantages of MSCHAP compared to CHAP. CHAP requires the password to be stored in plain-text.
  
  MSCHAP protocol can be used with SQL. A number of RADIUS servers support PPP-MSCHAP with SQL.
  
  If there is indeed a real demand for SQL with MSCHAPv2, then it maybe just a question of time before RADIUS vendors support it.
