Only with chromogenic bw films,  e.g. XP-2 Super and the like.  The 
problem is that like dust silver tends to block ir light, and so systems 
like Digital Ice don't do well with bw films where the image is made up 
of silver halide.  But it's always worth a try.  With Vuescan, you can 
get at all of the color channels, including the IR channel, and perhaps 
by blending these the right way in Photoshop you can minimize dust.
