>From what I understand, Tapioca has been folded into another VoIP
infrastructure project called Telepathy and isn't being updated as a
separate entity any more (and its wiki page looks like it has been
infested with link spam). Telepathy is the basis of the rtcomm VoIP
system that is being included in Chinook and is available as a beta
version for Bora. I am not sure if it works with the Hacker Edition
for the 770. But if you look up these project pages you can get all
the source code for them and maybe back-port what you need.
