Seems right at first glance. Just to sketch it out: I write a
gen_server which starts in an infinite loop. It adds instances of the
gen_fsm each time gen_tcp:accept/1 returns to it's sibling in the
supervision tree, a simple_one_for_one supervisor. Am I correct?

Another (unrelated) thought: for such a simple case I do not need a
gen_server, a simple supervisable process should do. Is there a reason
why there is not a behaviour such as e.g. 'plain' for such cases in
the OTP?

Best regards,
