Although I prefer SNADS to DDM by a wide margin, remember that a well-written pair of send/receive programs can give better throughput than SNADS. SNADS has a lot of error-correction and recovery built in: "Neither rain nor snow..." your file -will- get to the other end! But all that protection does come at a price.

Years ago we built ourselves a pair of programs that send a save file from machine to machine. They're simple send/receive programs, but have next to no recovery. Our machines are in the same room, so transmission problems are very few. I suspect that running SNA via TCP/IP (with its built in error recovery) would give fairly good protection, but you'd have to start any retransmissions by yourself.
