In a telecommunications system (50) using a fixed wireless terminal (52) having a transceiver (62) for communicating with a public switched telephone network (34) via a radio communication link (30) with a base station (32), multiple terminal equipment units (22) are coupled to the fixed wireless terminal (52). A complete request from a requesting communication resource (58) for access to a selected communication resource is detected (208). The communication resources include the transceiver (62), and first and second communication circuits (58 and 60), which are coupled to first and second ports (26), respectively, for coupling to first and second terminal equipment units (22), respectively. Thereafter, the availability of the selected communication resource is determined (212). If the selected communication resource is available, the requesting communication resource is coupled to the selected communication resource (222).
