Packet COULD have been a solution, but had a modulation format unable to do the job.
As a MultiPSK user, I think that PSK31 is inadequate, maybe PSKFEC could perform better, but I would try PAX. It has some long keying delays I don't like from the moment you press the ENTER key, but is an ARQ mode capable of providing error less reception. I did not evaluate it in depth, but I did like the results I saw. So, if the need is to transfer a file and comment it afterwards, maybe that's one solution already at hand that should be evaluated.
