MSCHAP is a challenge-response mechanism. To execute the cryptographic calculation, you MUST have access to the NT or LM hashes of the users password.

It's unclear to me what kind of "helper" module you're envisaging; perhaps a USB-attached quantum computer that can crack the crypto in realtime ;o)

In all seriousness - there's nothing to "help" here. People wanting to do MSCHAP must have either:

 1. The NT or LM hashes
 2. The cleartext password, to generate the NT/LM hashes
3. Access to a system which will perform the MSCHAP crypto for them (i.e. a domain controller, access via samba/ntlm_auth)

This is by design - the cryptographic properties of MSCHAP were created intentionally to make this the case.
