Typically most implementations would use a different protocol to pull
the data over the serial line and sort it properly in the master agent
rather than use something like AgentX directly over the serial line.
This is typically because doing agentx processing isn't cheap since
proper SNMP sorting of the data must be done and I doubt the process you
have running on the other side of the serial device is running on a fast
processor.
