Thanks for the advice. I had played with NT4 a little bit to see if I could
use it for setting up a resource domain for windows 2003 machines- since it
looks like you can join Windows 2003 machines to an NT4 domain (so why PCNL
can't I don't know), and then establish trusts between NT4 and PCNL. I
didn't really want to have NT4 machines in my enviroment any longer than
necessary so I abandoned this approach. But it sounds like a good tool for
PCNL-to-Samba. Maybe I could do I vampire dump straight from PCNL?
I may be better off to get the PCNL-to-SAMBA migration out of the way before
trying to bring the Windows 2003 machines into general service than vice
versa.

The smoothest way to migrate the domain off PC Netlink is to install a NT4
(!) BDC to suck down the user db, then cut the network between PC Netlink
and the BDC, then promote the BDC to a PDC from which you can vampire the
SAM.
A colleague of mine has successfully done this for a 13.000 user domain.
