Connect serial device to router

Hello

I want to route packets from point A, which will have an IP address, to the serial port. The packet should be stripped from the TCP/IP headers, and only the payload be delivered to the serial port. In similar way, the device connected to the serial port should be able to send payload to specified IP address.
I though of using HDLC for this task, where the router will assign IP address to the serial port, and the ADDRESS field of the HDLC protocol will be mapped to IP's of other devices. In this way, the normal network devices will be able to send packets to the serial port using it's IP, and the serial device will be able to send payload to other devices, using the ADDRESS field of the HDLC.

I don't want to implement myself the TCP/IP in the serial device, so I don't want PPP.

Is this configuration possible? what is the commands/protocols used for this purpose by cisco routers? Is it be done using STUN, Cisco-HDLC or other Cisco-specific protocol?

thanks
