    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a synchronous proxy (or a synchronous server) by providing a synchronous handler which retrieves a remote synchronous logic out of a network, connects the retrieved synchronous logic to the remote hosts and secures the synchronization between the clients and the remote hosts by means of the said synchronous logic. SOLUTION: A synchronous proxy logic is adapted to retrieve a remote synchronous logic 120 out of a network 108, to connect the logic 120 to the remote hosts 109-111 respectively based on a request and to secure the synchronization between the clients 101 and 102 and the hosts 109-111 respectively by means of the logic 120. The synchronizing request also includes the information to identify a conversion code 130 specific to a device which converts the data between the clients 101 and 102 and the hosts 109-111 in a synchronous mode. Based on the said identifying information, a conversion code is retrieved. Then the data are converted between the clients 101 and 102 and the hosts 109-111 based on the code 130.
