Almost.
8N1 means there will be 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit, thus 10 bits per byte.
960 characters in 1000 milliseconds.
Your math below looks like you worked this out with 9 bits per byte.
But in the bigger picture yes ? approximately one character per millisecond.

A terminal running at 9600 baud, 8N1, would display/process one character approximately
every millisecond (1066.6666 characters in 1000 milliseconds).
Is this math correct?
