There was a real nice article on how to do this about four years ago.

In short, it is reccomended that you use an SLR camera, mounted on
a tripod.  Darken the room as much as possible.  Set the shutter
speed for at least 1/2 second, preferably longer, and set your f
stop way down, say to f22, use a light meter to get the best setting.
If there is any "overscan" such as is found on ntsc monitors, the scan
lines will disappear.  An ST screen (mono) has just a little "crawl",
so your final picture will not look like a screen, but like a white
piece of paper.  Diagonal lines will still have a slight "stair case"
look as always, but vertical lines and most text will appear quite
solid.

Good luck.
