LAN access while VPN is up

I work from home through an IPSEC tunnel to a Nortel VPN switch.

Recently the switch configuration was altered such that the Nortel VPN
client routes everything except RFC1918 Class C addresses up the tunnel.
Unfortunately, I chose RFC1918 Class A addresses for my local LAN long
ago, so I've lost access to local shares and printers while the tunnel
is established.

It wouldn't be all that painful to renumber the local LAN to RFC1918
Class C, but I'm curious as to alternative solutions - perhaps involving
adding a router (I have a couple spare). Any suggestions?
