   Just a few minutes ago, seriously, I found that the Cisco client has a check   
   box "Allow Local LAN Access", and when it's enabled, it works: the two things   
   I need for VPN, Novell and Entourage, work fine via the corporate network,   
   yet Mail and browsing work as well.   
      
   I have no idea how the apps know which to use -- VPN or local LAN -- but they   
   do.
