I thought the difference was that the sportster VI comes with Voice mail
box and fax-on-demand, and plain  "sportster" was very similar 
modem without the voice mail and fax-on-demand features. 

The various vendors I have checked generally carry the VI for 
$20-$30  more  (for a given speed and int/external) 

Where did you see the VI  for less than the non-VI ?
