You've missed the point.  He's using proxy arp to make his serial link (and
the machine at the other end of it) seem to be part of his ethernet, and now
he's surprised when broadcast packets on the ethernet don't reach the far
end of the serial link.  This is yet another example of why proxy arp is bad
and routing is good.
