   Sure, you can add a route to the ISP's network.  But in all likelihood,   
   your VPN client software will detect that you are tempering with the   
   routing table and will immediately drop your VPN connection for security   
   reason.  I have tried this with Nortel Contivity and have every reason   
   to believe the cisco VPN client works the same way.
