There's two ways to do this.
First, to solve the receiving part, on your end. grab the rsa.c
program that's on the GnuPG FTP site (ftp.gnupg.org:/pub/gcrypt/contrib). That
will allow you to use GnuPG, to decrypt keys signed by PGP2 (which uses RSA).
With that, there is also an option that you can pass to GnuPG, that could sign
with an RSA key, that PGP2 would be able to understand. PGP5 should have no
problem with GnuPG, for sending or receiving. But, that extension for RSA
saved me a lot of trouble with GnuPG. Try it.
