We just went through this ourselves as well helped many of our own customers
get this done.

PCI Compliance is pretty hardcore, all "backdoor ports" must be shutdown and
the payment system machine must be hardened.

For all our customers that are DSL we changed out the DSL modem/router for a
DSL bridge and a mikrotik 750, locked down all the ports etc. For those that
needed RDC or other remote connections into thier network we setup the PPTP
server on the mikrotiks and off they went. Not one of our customers has
failed the PCI Compliance tests yet.
