In an Internet fax, to receive an electronic mail document for fax transfer, if a password related to a control command for indicating a facsimile communication function is encrypted and set in the destination field or the main body of the received electronic mail, the encrypted password is decrypted and using the decrypted password, facsimile transfer of the electronic mail document is executed following the control command.

A data terminal which is coupled to an local area network and a public switched telephone network includes a sub-address generator that generates a sub-address based on an electronic mail address and a predetermined functional operation method. A data table generator generates an address conversion table correlating a plurality of sub-addresses to corresponding input electronic mail addresses. Each of the plurality of sub-addresses being uniquely coupled with a corresponding electronic mail address that is uniquely assigned to a single client terminal. The data terminal also includes memory to store the address conversion table and a terminal controller. The terminal controller checks an incoming call from a facsimile machine containing facsimile image information and a sub-address representing a destination client terminal, and upon receiving such incoming facsimile image information and sub-address, the controller determines an electronic mail address corresponding to the sub-address using the address conversion table. The controller then relays the facsimile image information to the destination client terminal at the determined appropriate electronic mail address.
