Is there OSC over RS232 ?
OSC doesn't specify the transport layer AFAIK, so yes, there is. If your question is if there is an implementation, then I would say I don't think so. You will see more implementations of the MIDI protocol over RS232 (MIDI hardware != RS232) because MIDI is easier to implement.
In that sense FUDI is very nice in that it is human readable, but its implementation is quite complicated as you need a parser for the number values. And it needs a bit more bandwidth under most circumstances.
MIDI is a hardware- and protocol specification, OSC is just a protocol. With a decent 8-bit clean morse alphabet you could even transmit it by drumming :) But encoding and decoding it is pretty complicated.
