Prodigy to Unveil Pact With 3 Baby Bells: Analysts said they expected Prodigy Service Co. to announce that it is joining BellSouth Corp., Nynex Corp. and Pacific Bell to give Prodigy customers access to what is known as ISDN, or integrated services digital network. It will allow faster access to Prodigy services and to the Internet through digital phone lines. Analysts said Prodigy, a joint venture between International Business Machines Corp. and Sears Roebuck & Co., is again moving ahead of its rivals, who also have plans for ISDN service. A spokeswoman for Nynex confirmed that it was working with Prodigy. Officials at the other Baby Bells did not return calls, but industry sources confirmed that those companies would be involved.
