ASSISTANTNEGOTIATION	If 1, UOX3 will attempt to negotiate features with the player's assist-tool (Razor, AssistUO, etc). Negotiate, in this context, means tell the assist tool what features to disable! See [disabled assistant features] for a list of features that can be disabled.
KICKONASSISTANTSILENCE	If 1, UOX3 will disconnect players who's clients (or assist tools, rather) don't respond to the request to negotiate features.

Note that each of these settings represents a range of client versions, ranging from the one specified to the next one just before the next available setting. So CLIENTSUPPORT4000 ranges from v4.0.0.0 until whichever the last version before v5.0.0.0 (CLIENTSUPPORT5000) was.

NOTE: While it is possible (and it is even the default setting) to enable login-support for all the ranges of client-versions listed below, how well they will work depends very much on what version of the datafiles are used on the server. It is highly recommended to restrict client-support to whichever range of versions is closest to the client-version the datafiles in use on the server are from.

CLIENTSUPPORT5000	Enables login-support for all clients in the 5.0.x range
