Hmmm... I couldn't get that to work. It just started disconnected. And
even connecting manually, ensuring everything had 'connect on startup'
ticked, saving prefs, quitting, and restarting still started disconnected.

What I found worked in the end was:

* quit mulberry

* rename ~/Library/Preferences/Mulberry\ Prefs
  to ~/Library/Preferences/Mulberry\ Prefs

* scp that file from the working computer

* fix the extended attributes

nimrod:~ amb$ xattr -l Library/Preferences/Mulberry\ Prefs.keep
com.apple.FinderInfo:
00000000  50 72 65 66 4D 6C 62 79 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

* restore the IMSP options file on the server from backup (which appears
  to have been changed to something that did not work)

* restart Mulberry
