That's an impressive feature-rich phone (with a price to match)! I see 
that, according to the Amazon reviews page, it requires "converters" to 
work in the UK as it's meant for use in Germany.

I don't use the ethernet capabilities of the Fritz!Box now, although I 
have used it in the past with an old Panasonic PVR which didn't have 
WiFi. The Fritz!Box has a DECT facility to connect directly to the 
handset (if it's compatible - I haven't checked yet). However, staying 
with with RJ11 connection I might set up the Fritz!Box's answerphone 
facility just to see if that records the engaged tone as well. If it 
does, that would suggest that the issue lies in whatever Zen is using to 
connect to my Digital Voice phone.

I'm afraid that I'm ignorant of how DV actually works. Is there still an 
"exchange" somewhere? If not, how does "the system" know how to connect 
anyone phoning me from their phone - DV or otherwise - to my DV phone?
