cat reading problem

Hello,

I tried to cat < /dev/mytty/ttyS3, but cat shows nothing. I attached here strace

cat < /dev/mytty/ttyS3 and cat < hello. Hello is just a file. As you can see the

result of strace cat is identical, but in tty case I can't see nothing. Why does cat write nothing at my console?

Thank you,
