Recent models come with both the ThinWire interface and a transceiver
(thickwire) interface, switch selectable.  I plugged the thickwire interface
into a ChipCom EtherModem with a transceiver cable.  Works fine, so should
work also with H4000, I suppose.

I don't know what it is, but it's not an error.  The cover page in my
hardware manual (first page inside the cover) says that either

		NI 0000.00001
or		NI 0100.00001

are OK responses to test 50.
