I agree that collision cannot happen on a serial interface.  I read some
where not quite sure where might have been caslow, but if you do increment
collisions on a serial interface you are looking at a software problem.
Hope this helps.

AFAIK, collisions on a serial interface cannot happen.  Perhaps, I'm wrong,
but as Brian said, collisions are a side effect of half-duplex transmissions
where the two ends try to transmit at the same time.  I can't think of any
other specification besides ethernet where collisions can happen.
