A facsimile network includes a plurality of nodes ()-() which are disposed at different locations in the world. An originating fax machine () is associated with one of the nodes () for transmitting a fax over a local public telephone network (PSTN) (). When the node () receives the fax transmission in the normal transmission mode, it then converts it to a digitized compressed and encrypted image which is transmitted over a primary network (), such as the Internet, to a destination node () by a predetermined route. The node () then decompresses and de-encrypts the image and converts it to a facsimile image for transmission to a destination fax () in a normal mode over a local PSTN (). A node () operates as a central node which can also receive the transmission for routing directly to the fax or for directing via another network link to the node ().
