What kind of interface?  Ethernet?  Wireless?  IrDA?  Long piece of 
string tied to two paper cups?  ;)

If it's IrDA there's an interface built-in.  If it's ethernet or 
wireless you can get plug-in cards to do it.

Zaurus runs linux (obviously...) and you'll find the full suite of tools 
you'd expect to find under linux like ssh, telnet etc etc etc...

So, yeah, in all likelihood(as in like 99.9999%) you'll be able to use 
it as a terminal.
