You mean EISA (extended industry standard architecture bus), not ESDI (a hard disk interface spec). At this point in time, I haven't seen any supported claims of better network throughput using EISA cards. The standard 8-bit and 16-bit network cards we use seem plenty fast enough over 10 mbit Ethernet. But my only experience is with small (up to 20) machine local area networks. If your network is enterprise-wide or international, it's a whole new can of worms.
