I would like to connect a nokia 6610i with my notebook via irda to connect to 
my provider or send a fax. The nokia stuff under windows xp works smoothly.

After having compiled and installed the birda package I see the following 
in /var/log/messages:

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p1 #0: Sun Jan  1 20:49:22 UTC 2006
..........................................
sio0: <Standard PC COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: <Generic IRDA-compatible device> port 0x3e8-0x3ef irq 3 drq 3 on acpi0
sio1: type 16550A
..................................................

and -as well as the standard /dev/cuad0 device - also the /dev/cuad1 device is 
enabled:

# ls /dev/cuad*
/dev/cuad0      /dev/cuad0.lock /dev/cuad1.init
/dev/cuad0.init /dev/cuad1      /dev/cuad1.lock

Now, after activating the irda stuff in the nokia and positioning correctly at 
about 30 cm from the notebook  I issue as an ordinary user

# ircomm -d /dev/cuad1 -Y
# /dev/ttyp2
# ircomm -d /dev/cuad1 -y /dev/ttyp2 -v10

And I cannot send even a simple 'at' in a minicom terminal.

Perhaps I'm missing something essential. Could you please help me?
