[Summary after a brief exchange with Ron]
a BER 'OBJECT IDENTIFIER' is represented as a list of integers
<(40*value1 + value2), (value3), (value4), ...>. Each such integer is
represented as an octet sequence of base-128 digits, where 8. bit = 1
except in the last octet. 0x44 has 8.bit = 0, so 44 44 44 hex are 3
such integers.
So the OID is min(0x44/40, 2).(0x44 - 40*value1).0x44.0x44 = 1.28.68.68.
