I'm doing something similar for my poker test harness. I'm making the  
poker bot a gen_server so that it can be properly supervised, etc.  
Poker bots are given a "script" module to execute. The module exports  
just one function that the poker bot calls with tcp, etc. events.

This is analogous to making a callback module for gen_server but  
simpler. I suppose there's no harm in making both your server harness  
_and_ the protocol handlers into gen_servers.
