What OS can the software run in? You might make use of virtualization 
(VMWare, VirtualPC, etc.) to solve your problem.

You should be able to control the properties of the virtual machine and 
tell it it has a serial port even if it doesn't. Running an old OS 
within a virtual machine on a modern laptop should still be faster than 
running the same OS on its native hardware.
