It sounds like chapter 3 of the book "Erlang and OTP in action", by
Martin Logan et al, would be helpful to you.  The book is very
worthwhile, and you can also find the source code for the solutions
to the problems discuss in the book (including "TCP-based RPC
server" from chapter 3) at github:

    https://github.com/erlware/Erlang-and-OTP-in-Action-Source

Here is a bit of summary of the chapter:

    "What you're creating -- The RPC server will allow you to listen
    on a TCP socket and accept a single connection from an outside
    TCP client.  After it's connected, it will let a client run
    functions via a simple ASCII text protocol over TCP. ..."
