Here at Duke we have an ethernet of three VAXes with DEUNAs and H4000s, and
one VAX (750) with an NI1010A and an H4000. The DEC H4000 transceiver DOES
work with the Interlan board (suprised me too!). At one point we had a Sun
on loan hooked in via a 3Com transceiver as well. I was impressed with how
easily the Sun came up (must have had my orange juice that day) -- just a
few minutes to configure the tables was all it took.

At Melb Uni, we have an ethernet with H4000's (only) connected
to DEUNA and 3com controllers.  (Both a 3com unibus controller,
the thing 4.2 calls "ec0", and a 3com etherbox connected to
a Perkin-Elmer).

It all seems to work fine.

That is, it appears to me (from experience using it, without
looking at any fine print anywhere) that 3com controllers (if
you can still get them, but that's another matter) connect
to H4000's.
