There are several good techniques with Photoshop. Here are two advanced techniques that are my favorites:

He has an action posted on this page as well. Here is a compendium of several techniques: http://www.russellbrown.com/images/tips_pdfs/colortoB%26W.pdf The "Russell Brown Patented Technique" is by far the most fun in my experience. You can make an action out of it. Photoshop makes it almost unnecessary to shoot B&W anymore...

I've heard of work flows where you convert to LAB space and throw away the A and B. I'm looking for a plug-in or stand alone program that converts the image in a specific way. Any ideas are appreciated!
