Probably not -- I think "client does not accept" is an all or nothing. 
Note that this is normal for PXE clients -- all known PXE stacks does a 
"dummy transfer" to query the size of the target file, and terminate the 
connection with an OPNAK error so it doesn't have to sit through the 
whole transfer.
