Correct. And indeed pxelinux.0 goes much further than lpxelinux.0!
I have a few issues yet to fix:

   * Undef symbol FAIL: __syslinux_debug_enabled
     (I must have done something wrong while building)

   * find proper fix for serial i/o (my crude hack handles
     output, but not input; I now end up with a boot: prompt
     but cannot enter anything). Is there a known correct way
     of setting up pxelinux for serial-only I/O?

I do understand :-) Once I work my way to getting a succseful boot with
pxelinux.0 (thanks for pointing in the right direction!!), I'll bring
the issue up with Soekris as well. (I'll also experiment with a net5501
instead of the 4501).

Thanks again for your help!

Did you see the SERIAL directive?  If this isn't enough, there may be bugs
in the modules or the libraries they use.

Yes, I'm aware of SERIAL, my config file has:

serial 0 19200 0
console 0
