I've used a few MRI modems "Mr Modem" in various places and found them great.
My own modem is a Mri External that gets great d/l speed. I have 4 phones on this
line and get a steady 5.9k/s nearly constantly. They arent too dear either - you 
should be able to pick up one for about £60. As for cork i dont know but
I got mine in IT direct in dublin (parliamnet street)
