[syslinux] which should I use: TIMEOUT, ONTIMEOUT, or ONERROR ?

Hi.  I'm trying to get around the problem of an overloaded tftp server 
causing a pxelinux client hanging at the boot: prompt, waiting for input 
(no one will input anything to it).  The server is OK enough to give the 
pxebootloader but not the config file, as in this thread:

http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2004-June/003662.html

So, in that case, I guess setting TIMEOUT to some reasonable positive 
value would help.  But, assuming it never got a config file, how would i 
get the box to automatically reboot or localboot?
