[erlang-questions] How access the gen_server across the network

[Oscar]

Now it works.
But  I still have two questions.

1. Must it connect the two nodes before trying the gen_server call?
2. Shall we make users decide to register it locally or globally while
designing the gen_server behavior?

Is there any good examples in ERLANG source package?
