There are several ways to connect your Zaurus to a linux box:

using the usb(d)net kernel feature which treats a USB link as a network connection (USB)
- and routing, IP MASQ (a new subnet for the Zaurus)
- and ethernet bridging as described in [1]
using PPP over
- USB, serial, USB2serial converter
- IrDA
- Bluetooth
Ethernet, Wifi

Once connected to access the outside world (anything but your computer) you'll neet to set up either casual routing or IP Masquerading (NAT).

This should work with all models. However the docs seems to be written for 5500 with Sharp stock ROM.

Red Hat (USB) 9+ or Red Hat with SL-5600

SSH and SCP Copy Files to and from your Zaurus over SSH with SCP

These links provide good information about USB networking:
