I prefer MaNGOS, its open source and constantly revised. To run any of the current servers you are going to need MySQL, if your download connection is 2mb thats great but its the upload that matters really. If thats 2mb as well, you should be able to fill it up pretty well. Its the DB and processor thats really going to limit your players if this is the case. And yea, the better the processor the better the server.

I have a similar connection. I go by the "Halo 2" hosting method. I can't host a game of Halo 2 with over 6 people in it.

How this relates:

For some reason if you have about 10-12 people on, there isn't a problem. Jam them all onto the same map and fighting the same mob. Expect to see the Dragon die about 5 minutes after it actually happened. I limit my server to 20 and pray they never decide to buddy up with one another.
