For the scenario you've described, you might be interested in PXELINUX' 
"keeppxe" directive:

LABEL gpxe
  KERNEL undi.lkrn
  APPEND keeppxe

Or you might be interested in the fact that PXELINUX can boot NBPs, such as:

LABEL gpxe
  PXE undi.kkpxe

It could be that the other Dell models (such as your Optiplex 755) leave 
the UNDI/PXE stack available and undi.lkrn can find it.  This is not 
universally true.
