 Switching to SIP is likely your best solution. IAX is buggy. Always
 has been, and I'll bet always will be.

Alright, I'll bite on this one.

Can you give any specifics about IAX being buggy, other than throwing out 
random claims? I understand it doesn't get the industry use and acceptance SIP 
has seen, but that doesn't automatically discount it's functionality correct?

If anything, I've found SIP to be more finicky, mostly due to far end NAT 
issues or general interop problems.

I guess I'm just curious about your IAX experience that would lead you to 
discount it as 'buggy'.

 I wish to ask if there is way to keep IAX trunk connection up. I have
 a small server on Xen VPS but notice that my IAX trunk drops after
 some time.

 I understand there is cron job to function as sip watchdog.

 My asterisk is 11.0.1

You'll want to use 'qualify=yes' for your IAX2 peers which keeps registrations 
active by sending a 'ping' every 60 seconds (by default). Quite a bit of detail 
available here:

Can you also define what you mean by IAX trunk drops?

Cheers,
