Some clients *do* block access to any networks other than through the
VPN. Checkpoint's SecureClient (Windows) does, and the commercial Cisco
clients (Windows and Linux) do. The Cisco clients have a switch to say
'allow access to local networks', but server end is able to override
that if it wants to.

Then again, running vpnc from home to a Cisco VPN server, I have access
to my local network, so can use local networked printers.
