Al right, newbie, I'll help you, THIS TIME!!!
Ok. First off let's clear up any confusion. Xterm, Aterm or anyotherterm is just a window where you can type commands at the linux console. Yes, there are differences, but they are mostly things like support for color text, or tabs (think multiple terms in one window). Got it? Good.
Now. About your networking. Since I don't have your Z or your Air Card, I'll have to start with basic troubleshooting, so with your Z freshly rebooted and the AirCard NOT INSERTED IN THE SLOT, open a term (any term) and type
# demsg [RETURN]
Since you are a newbie, I MUST make fun of you now and tell you that the "#" aka number sign aka hash mark aka tic-tac-toe symbol is the command prompt, and you dont need to type it. Also, to add a little insult to injury I must also point out that [RETURN] is mearly an indication of the fact that after you type dmesg, you must hit the return key, otherwise it will take A LOT LONGER FOR THE COMMAND TO RUN!
OK. enough fun with the newbie jokes. Here is the deal. dmesg will show the most recent stuff seen by the OS. I can't say what it will look like on your Z, but it will definately not have any mention of any wireless device being detected at this time (unless you didn't follow my strict instructions).
Now, insert your AirCard.
Type
# dmesg [RETURN]
again.
If the card has good support you will see lots of info about the card in question.
If it is only partially supported, you will see some slightly ambiguous messages.
If it is not supported, you may not see any new messages at all, or you will see even more ambiguos info.
At any rate, you will now have some sense of how well your card is supported. At the very least, you will have some text which you will hopefully paste in this forum so that I can have a look.
Your move
