  We report the status of a high-statistics Monte Carlo simulation of
non-self-avoiding crystalline surfaces with extrinsic curvature on lattices of
size up to $128^2$ nodes. We impose free boundary conditions. The free energy
is a gaussian spring tethering potential together with a normal-normal bending
energy. Particular emphasis is given to the behavior of the model in the cold
phase where we measure the decay of the normal-normal correlation function.
