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. > The Gigaset no longer uses any RJ11 or BT431A connection as its "phone > line", it has an ethernet connection. 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? -- Jeff
