I'm assuming the client and server run as separate programs (separate
unix processes).

The expression "echosrv ! {ClientPid, N}" will try to send a message
to the registered process 'echosrv' in the current node (i.e. unix
process). If your echosrv is actually registered in another process,
then it will crash (with 'badarg') because the current node has no
echosrv process.

To send the message to a remote node, you should do:
  "{echosrv, othernodename@REDACTED} ! {ClientPid, N}"

Which will use distribution (over a TCP socket) to send the message
to the other process.

I don't know if distribution is easy to use with eLite - Joe?

P.S., the latest version of eLite (aka Stand Alone Erlang) at
http://www.sics.se/~joe/sae.html is 3.1.
