It really depends on how many users you will have on the network. The best way to find out is to experiment. Try it out, and see for yourself. I estimate it will be fine for up to 100 users.

if memory serves, 128kbps upstream, if dedicated, could hold 500 users, presuming those users weren't very active.
assuming it's dedicated bandwidth, being realistic 200/250 users, tops. that would be your max, to be realistic. |

Not for any sizable server.
Major reason is that on an IRC server, 2/3rds of your bandwidth is outgoing, not incoming. When a user says "hello", you have to take that one message, then deliver it to as many users on your server that are in that channel...
So your 704/128 will basically end up being 42/128 when you max it out with users. |
