you can translate the nucleotide sequence using Expasy translate tool http://web.expasy.org/translate/. This will provide you all possible frames of which most accurate one can be identified by comparing the size of protein.
First of all be sure that what you want to identify either intron or exons with in the nucleotide sequence, your query says that you want to determine the open reading frames of gene. as i understand that you have large nucleotide sequence with you and you want to identify the exons from that or you can say protein coding sequence, for that you can simply use the Augustus web interface server for gene prediction http://bioinf.uni-greifswald.de/augustus/submission.php.
or you can simply use the NCBI ORF finder http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gorf/orfig.cgi.
if you know your exon region (ORF), you will be able to detect your introns from their respective splicing site. There are plenty of software to detect the splicing site.
