scanning grainy b&w negatives

I'm scanning some old b&w negatives, some of which are rather grainy. What is the best way of dealing with this? I've tried a trial version of Noise Ninja which looks promising, but are there any better alternatives?

Embrace the grain. Feel the grain. Let the grain become part of you and your expression.
