It's why I still love black and white film. You can do so much with it that you can't do with digital.
Really, aside from extremely long exposures, there is nothing b/w film can do that digital cannot. Sure, film has a slightly different look than digital, but how is that different than comparing two different b/w films?
As for the OP's question, the only way to get the toned effect you want is to experiment. Try many different methods. Don't try to copy!! A few years ago I purchased an original print by Brooks Jensen and, favoring the warm tones in his print, tried unsuccessfully for weeks to get that exact look. I finally gave up and, putting his print away for a while, came up with my own brand of slightly warmish tones. I was very happy with the results and was sure it was very close to Brook's toning. When I compared the two, they were completely different. I actually liked mine better.
So take a lesson from my my mistake. Don't try to copy someone else's look. Use it instead for inspiration, put it away, then work on your own images until you find a toning method you really like. If it's not exactly the same as what you were trying for, all the better. That means it's YOURS.
