Well, this is easy...

if you want them to telnet out after SSH'ing in, just make the users'
shell /usr/bin/telnet

They'll SSh in, then get a telnet prompt.

If you want them to ssh out, a simple shell script can be made that, when
used as the user's shell (like in the above telnet example), it prompts
for the user to input a username/hostname combo, and that execs ssh with
the propper options.
