I have not heard of any USR Sporters 9600.  The basic USR line, if I'm
not mistaken, is this (in order of increasing price)
  Courier HST - USR's proprietary protocol, only does high speeds with
other HST's (14.4k?)
  Courier V.32 - only communicates at high speeds wiht other V.32's
  Dual STandard: above two rolled into one.

With the SYsop Deal, the HST is $349 and the Dual STandard is $499 (down
from $695, can't beat that)
