SQL Server can co-exist with many things comfortably. The main thing is
memory and a good disk sub-system. If you plan to grow SQL Server, I
would DEFINATELY recommend putting it on its own box (A non DC) and
using the priority boost with ATLEAST 64 megs of memory (SQL Server
configured to use 40mb of).

Yes you can, although I typically don't recommend it. There isn't really
a good reason why not, just that I don't like to put things on the SQL
Server (if something bombs the SQL Server box, its like having a heart
attack: not much else is going to function).

This is fine. While developing Emerald, our administrative office was
over a 64kb deidicated circuit, in which about 4-8 people used Emerald.
It worked very well. Now on Switch 100mb, its working very well (not
much different for much things).

No. RadiusNT and Emerald are mutually exclusive and do not require each
other.
