Do you want asterisk to take care of the DTMF for you?  When you say
users, do you mean certain extensions?  

Why not cancel your restrictions with the telco and implement
restrictions within asterisk.  You can use authenticate before your dial
statement to prompt for a pin when dialing long distance or you can
create different contexts for phones that you want to access long
distance and for phones that you don't

Thanks,
