No. But not far off.
9600 *bps*, 8N1 means you'll have 10 bits per character.
1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
At 9600 bps, that would result in 960 characters per second.

(Baud and bps is not the same thing, although they often are equivalent. 
But avoid using the term baud, unless you really know what you are 
talking about...)
