You need to make irda work under Linux. Then use minicom with /dev/rfcomm0
instead of /dev/ttyS0
See http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/IrDA/IrDA.html for most
detailed information on linux irda.

gnokii can save your phonebook to some file. Further conversion you need
to do on your own. Working .gnokiirc would be:
[global]
port = /dev/ircomm0
model = AT
initlength = 0
connection = irda
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/
use_locking = no
smsc_timeout = 10
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
