Uhm, weird!
You had the problem that diald kept calling your ISP, and you fixed it by
adding that line?
That line simply accepts packets.

When you have problem like this, the procedure is always the same:
1) start diald with debug1
2) tail -f the log file
3) do what you have to do (do a dns lookup)
4) see the packets flowing in the log:
4a) you don't see any packets: either you didn't set debug to 1 or diald is
dead or you aren't doing a dns lookup
4b) you see packets with "accept..." and diald doesn't dial: either the
connect script/modem have problems, or you blocked diald
4c) you see packets with "ignore...": you did something wrong in the diald
filter.
