All you do is link to the IPB board you create and create a home link (back to Xoops) on the header of the IBP board. It works very smooth. Another feature I like about a standalone install of each is the IPB boards take the whole screen and makes viewing the forums less tedious for users. (no menu bar on the left side)
You can now have this with the latest release of ipbm for XOOPS from bbpixel.
new options in admin allow you to selct which registration method u want XOOPS or ipb, you can also choose to wrap the headers and columns etc or not, so your forum will be full screen etc..
the latest release 1.4d is as stable as the standalone version and i use on my site.. I've not had any problems whatsoever since this latest release. and koudanshi is already awaiting the ipb 2.0 version and will have it converted for XOOPS not long after the final version of ipb 2 is released..
As for the importing of your old forum to work with XOOPS ipb, koudanshi has also written scripts that will convert your old forum database to ipb format.. (this doesn't delete your old forum it simply copies it & converts, so u can use both forums alongside if u wish..)
