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]

GammaLink introduced GammaFax in 1985.[6][7][8][9]

The company was sold to Dialogic Corporation in 1994,[10] which in turn was bought by Intel.[11] It was then bought by Eicon and subsequently acquired by Open Media Labs, which now functions as Dialogic Media Labs.[12]
