I doubt it is a routing issue but a firewall issue.  Correct me if I am
assuming to much here.  What you are doing is connecting from the
outside to your VPN unit and then cannot connect to your AS400?  The
inside IP of the VPN is 192.168.0.20.  When you connect from the
outside, what IP is the client assigned?  For instance our VPN assigns
IP's on a different subnet than our inside network so we have a route on
the servers we want to be reached via VPN.

Client -->VPN -->Inside
Public-->public/Private-->private 
100.1.1.1 --> 28.1.1.1 --> 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1 assigned to vpn client
Route on inside server = 192.168.2.0 / 255.255.255.0 ---> 192.168.1.1

Our VPN serves up a different private subnet than our inside network.
How is yours configured?

(Fingers hit SEND too quickly)

That explains it.

I tried to add another route as direct because for some reason our
VPN/firewall does not see our AS/400 when you log in (it's
192.168.0.20).  I wanted to add a direct route to the AS/400 to see if
that would make a difference, so that's why I was trying to add
192.168.0.141 to the route table (which is the IP of our VPN/firewall).
