PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a facsimile system that can attain facsimile communication in real time by utilizing the Internet even when a facsimile terminal is connected to a local system. SOLUTION: A facsimile terminal 12 is connected to a relay server 4, is authenticated by identification information and then maintains connection. A facsimile terminal 22 is similarly connected to the relay server 4 to maintain the connection. After the facsimile terminal 12 sends a connection request to the facsimile terminal 12 to the relay server 4 to establish communication between the facsimile terminals, when the facsimile terminal 12 transmits an image to the relay server 4, the relay server 4 relays the image and transmits the image to the facsimile terminal 22. Since the facsimile terminal 22 is connected in advance to the relay server 4, the facsimile terminal 22 can receive the image transmitted from the relay server 4.
