If I understand the documentation correctly I think I can program the eth0
LAN interface in the Cisco 675 to 10.0.0.3.  I'm not a networking expert
so I don't know if this will accomplish the same as what you're saying.

Do I set the DHCP client?  I'm assuming it handles the WAN side.  I'm
supposed to have a static IP, but they haven't bothered to tell me what it
is.

They sent a lot of documentation with the 675, but it's about as clear
as the man pages.  I want to set it up as a bridge instead of a router.
The documentation states that there are two types of bridges you can
choose from: rfc1483 and PPP/BCP, but it doesn't give any details on when
or how to use which.  I'm assuming that since I'll be connecting via PPP
that I'd have to use the PPP/BCP option.
