Here's what I've been using:  The encoder is a PII 233 with 64MB ram running
Redhat Linux 7.1.  The source MP3s are 96k/bs with a sampling rate of
44.1kHz.  I send the 96k stream directly with no reencoding.  I reencode the
24k stream using LAME support compiled into IceS.  Heres the ices.conf:  (I
changed the hostname and password to protect the guilty, by the way...)
