Can someone send me a link to buy the 45-degree serial port adapter?
If you mean this one:
https://github.com/bkw777/WiModem_to_100
It's a design not a product.
There are only links to the parts, which you have to build.
The design is open source though so if anyone wants to produce them for
sale, they may. Or maybe someone here will make one as an one-off favor
or something.
All in all, it's neat but it's not really crucial. After using the
WiModem232 for a while, I decided the oled screen serves no purpose. You
get all the same info from the terminal over the serial line, and it
just draws power and adds cost. Without the screen, it doesn't really
matter which direction the unit faces, up or down. Even the status led
doesn't matter. It's bright enough to light up a whole area of the
table, but in fact I always disable the led with an AT command just
because it's super bright even on the dimmest setting, and saves a bit
more power.
If I got another wimodem today, I'd get the one without the oled screen,
which will reduce the power drain and be a little less expensive as a
bonus. If you can deal with the minor annoyance of how it sticks
straight out the back, you only need a standard mini gender-changer for
correct wiring to a M100. Not null-modem!
