Digital BW, The Print

I use ACR to convert the RAW images before working on them in PS7.  In 
PS7 I use the Convert B&W Pro plug-in to get grayscales (I'm pretty sure 
it works in CS2 as well.)  As a longtime B&W film shooter, developer and 
printer I find the plug-in to be the most intuitive grayscale converter 
to use, with sliders for colored contrast filters, "film" spectral 
response, film and print exposure and paper contrast grade.  I know it's 
just using the underlying Photoshop tools to produce the results, but 
after 30+ years in a darkroom this was just too easy a system to pass up 
when I switched to digital from film..

Cheers,
Kip
