After some struggle, with the help of google, I finally found out how to send sms from my computer over infrared connection with my new mobile phone Nokia 6070. To do this under FreeBSD, I have installed
birda. Then connect the phone to my computer with
$
ircomm -d /dev/cuad1 -y /dev/ptypv -v 2
This is my second serial port, which is visible after infrared is enabled in the bios. Now the phone should be detected and connected successfully. The screen shows
