Hi,

Of course you can use a gen_server. The macro would then have to become
	gen_server:cast({ProcessName, Node}, Msg)
and in the gen_server it's business as usual, handle it in handle_cast.

It would also work with the macro you already have, and then the handling would have to be done in handle_info.

regards,
Vlad
