How To VPN Question

| The company I work for allows me to connect to our network via cisco VPN.
Currently, the client configuration is a split tunnel allowing me a secured
connection back to the office but still allowing me to use my own internet
provider for general browsing, email, etc. The problem I am faced with is
that in a few weeks, the client software will change and will no longer
offer the split tunnel. With the split tunnel gone when I am connected to
the company I can only communicate with assets on the corporate LAN. I have
been told that there is something that can be done to configure the browser
to work off the company's internet feed but they have a content filter in
place that block chat sites, news groups, forums, web mail and other sites
that may or may not be risky.
What I would like to know is whether it is somehow possible to beat the
system and still have a non-censored connection to the internet? The
problem is that I run a small side business and I need to have access to my
web mail account and the new configuration is going to block me from getting
to my web mail account. I have a second NIC card available if I needed it
but I'm a bit confused as to how I could set the browser up to only use a
specific IP.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
2nd PC and a router (if needed) to allow them both to be used seems like
an easier option, compared to the various ideas that went through my
head in order to get round it.
I'd like to hear some suggestions though.
