ADC is for people who want to sync Exchange 5.5 Directory with Windows 2000
Active Directory. IMHO it is better to upgrade to Exchange 2000 right away.
Your Exchange 5.5 has it's own Directory service and Windows 2000 has its
own too. I think you do not need ADC at all.

I was thinking about leaving it at mixed but according to the text about
ADC,  I should at least have a native mode domain. Any comment?

Yes.  If you demote your BDCs you can switch to native mode, but once you go
native mode, you can't go back. So if you ever needed to an NT BDC for some
reason, you'd be SOL.  The extra benefits of native mode are few and far
between unless you have a rather large multi-domain setup (from what I've
read).  So I just leave it mixed "just in case".

Can I demote the bdc to a member server?

You can't go to native mode if you have any BDC's on your network still.

I think I finally got my Active Directory up and running but it is running
in mixed mode.  I still have 2 BDC running and one of the BDC is also
running Exchange 5.5.  If I change my Domain controller to native mode, am I
going to have any problem?  I'm not too sure I understand the consequences
of switching to full native mode.

Thanks for any advise

Vince
