GammaLink Inc. was an American computer hardware and software company founded in the 1980s in Sunnyvale, California, by Hank Magnuski and Michael Lutz.[1] The company was the first to invent PC-to-fax communications technology, GammaFax.[2][3][4][5]
The company was sold to Dialogic Corporation in 1994,[6] which in turn was bought by Intel.[7] It was then bought by Eicon and subsequently acquired by Open Media Labs, which now functions as Dialogic Media Labs.[8]
