RE: Booting to Public(internet TFTP Server) For open source FOG menu
The easiest thing you can do is to create a USB or CD image with an embedded iPXE script that points to a public-facing webserver that contains the real boot script. This boot script (on the web server) can then dispatch further to the FOG network boot program (NBP).

iPXE only supports wired and wireless ethernet adapters. It doesn't support 3G, analog modem or ISDN devices. The main website shows you how to build both the USB/CD image, and there is also a howto on how to include an embedded script into your image.
