Will this reroute a packet?

I have a new Cisco 1720 router with a T1 line connected at a remote location. It has the following ip addresses:
E0= 192.168.20.1
S0= 192.168.220.2

That Cisco 1720 directly connects to a Cisco 7206 router via the T1. The 7206 has the following ip addresses.
E0= 10.246.1.7
S0= 192.168.220.1

The 7206 E0 interface connects to a Cat 5500 switch.
Also connected to the same Cat 5500 switch is a Cisco 3640 router.
The 3640 router has these addresses.
E0= 10.246.1.5

All routers run RIP.

Problem:
The new Cisco 1720 is replacing an older bay router (the older bay router has the same ethernet address as the new 1720 --192.168.20.1 -- The old bay router was connected to the 3640 router via a 56K line. Now, we have an old HP Unix box that has static routes in it that would be very hard to change. In fact fooling with the HP Unix box is not an option. The HP Unix box is connected to the same Cat 5500 switch as the 7206 and 3640 router.

Now, one of these static routes in the HP Unix box points the 192.168.20.1 address to 10.246.1.5 (The remote location must get to the HP Unix box) So, when I install the new 1720 router at the remote location, that connects to the 7206 (10.246.1.7) router, that connects to the Cat 5500 switch that has the HP unix box also on it, I try to ping the HP Unix box but it routes the ping back to 10.246.1.5 due to its static route pointing all packets from 192.168.20.0 to 10.246.1.5.

Since I can't change the route in the HP Unix box, I want to add a route in the Cisco 3640 router (10.246.1.5) that says:
IP ROUTE 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 10.246.1.7

When the packets return from the HP Unix to 10.246.1.5 they should be re-routed from 10.246.1.5 to 10.246.1.7 then to 192.168.20.1 --Is this correct??

Will placing the above IP ROUTE in the 3640 router, re-route the 192.168.20.0 packets from 10.246.1.5 to 10.246.1.7?? Any info would help.
 
I Think a static route might help. It depends on your setup.

1. From where are you sending the ping?

2. Whats the IP Address of your HP?

3. Is your Subnetmask always 255.255.255.0?

But if you are running RIP there should be no need for a static route.

It would also be interesting to see a trace result.
