In the process of attempting to follow QWEST's instructions for upgrading
DSL modem firmware I ran into this quandary.

QWEST makes the firmware for the actiontec available in two formats
as a windows installer and as a .dmg file containing an install script in
perl and the actiontec image + a few other bits of documentation

so being the optimistic type I am I figure the .dmg + google and a bit of
ingenuity would get me all the pieces I needed to upgrade the device

Hah!

As it turns out .dmg is where Apple has an IP problem, since they can't or
won't release a file spec and the documentation on their website is happy
talk or instructions on creating a .dmg using hdiutil

Did find a few interesting things about dmg:

file recx_1_60_10_0_71_1524su.dmg
recx_1_60_10_0_71_1524su.dmg: VAX COFF executable not stripped - version
376

and strings run against the file produces a long list of gibberish and a
XML plist describing a HFS partition table.
