Any CAM software will work, but you'll need to do some investigation into post-processors.
Every machine is a little bit different on how it interprets the G-code that the CAM program is outputing, and the post-processor translates that CAM output to machine input.
As for the physical connection, they make adapters to go from the RS232 (25 pin) connector to a standard DB-9 serial connection, and most desktop computers have serial ports (or at least when shopping for one, make sure it's got one).
If you don't have a serial port on the PC, you can try a USB->Serial adapter. They usually work pretty well, but the power on them is limited, and some very old machines want more voltage than they can supply. In that case, you'll need a serial PCI card, but those again are very cheap and very available on amazon.

Failing all of that, you can use the built in Hypervisor in Windows 10 to run a Windows XP virtual machine (VM), which although not secure, will run reliably. Then you can just re-load BobCAD with your current setup and ta-da, new hardware with old software. This is a last-ditch effort though, since XP pokes security holes in your network.
